DNR Annnounces Rock Island Trail State Park in Windsor

Representatives from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will announce Missouri’s 93rd state park at 10 a.m. June 30, at the Katy Trail Trailhead in Windsor.

The former Rock Island Spur of the Katy Trail will become the Rock Island Trail State Park. While the 47.5-mile spur is the open portion of the trail, another 156 miles will be under development and closed to the public.

Mayors and representatives from towns along the corridor will speak, as will David Kelly, director of Missouri State Parks, and Dru Buntin, director of Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The public is invited to attend all activities, and park representatives will be available to provide updates on the trail’s development plan, which outlines its future use and development.
