Embark on an easy touring cycling adventure along the Missouri Riverfront Trail, a 13.6-mile (21.9 km) route that offers varied terrain and scenic views. You will gain a gentle 76 feet (23 metres) of elevation, making it a relaxed ride you can complete in about 1 hour and 40 minutes. As you cycle, you will pass through bottomland forest and pastoral landscapes, with a notable section atop the Quindaro Bend Levee providing expansive panoramas of the Missouri River. The trail combines concrete, gravel, and asphalt surfaces, ensuring a diverse experience.
When planning your visit, be aware that parts of the Platte County section of the trail may experience periodic closures. These can be due to maintenance work, high water levels, or ongoing construction, so it is wise to check conditions beforehand. For your convenience, restrooms are available at both the E.H. Young Park and English Landing Park trailheads, which are good starting or resting points for your ride.
This route stands out for its unique blend of natural beauty and accessibility, allowing you to truly connect with the environment. It offers a peaceful escape where you can enjoy the river and its surrounding floodplain, making it a perfect choice for a leisurely outing. The mix of surfaces and the dramatic views from the levee create a memorable experience that sets this trail apart in the region.
