The MKT is Columbia's premiere trail. This 10-foot wide trail built on the old railbed of the MKT railroad begins in downtown Columbia in Flat Branch Park at 4th and Cherry Streets. The all-weather crushed limestone surface provides opportunities for walking, jogging, running, and bicycling.

Awesome running trail ! Ifyou start downtown in the district, it's on concrete, along some streams and goes under roads so that you don't have to stop at intersections , then changes over to soft trail .
Awesome place for a run! The stream next to the trail brings the temp down on a hot day.
Biking to work makes a great day even better.
Try starting at the Downtown entrance and see if you can make it to Les Bourgeois in Rocheport.
Always great!!
Good time of the year to see the leaves change.

Bring your bike or walking shoes ... and it's at least 10 degrees cooler on the MKT trail. And it's prettier too. - Bill Tenny-Brittian
Don't come the first warm day in spring. Every person you don't want disturbing you normally will be here. - Caitlin Ward
The best playground for kids in the summer -- the only one with shade. - Joy Mayer
