Riverside Is Almost Done with a Key Trail Connection

Wow that was fast.  Back on July 14th, I wrote about the connection of the Line Creek Trail to the Linear (Interurban) Trail in Riverside.  I rode down that way tonight with the oldest two and the youngest two in the trailer behind and the new section of trail was fully paved.  We were able to ride all the way down to the Hog Jaw Fritz BBQ place on Gateway in Vivion.

If we would have continued on the sidewalk for 2 blocks we would have made it all the way to Briarcliff (map of how to do that here).

Here is the way to get to it.  Basically ride on the side trail along Vivion in front of Mad Mike's Fireworks and then go south on Klamm Road to the start of the trail.

Here is the end of Klamm and the start of the trail.

This is looking east where the trail turns from south to east.

This is looking east at the halfway point.

This looking west where the trail connects into the Linear Trail which is built on the old KC to St. Joe Interurban rail bed.

 

This adds another 3/4 mile south of Vivion Road that one can ride on without having to go on street.  Of course you can always ride on Vivion to the west over to the "green park" and make it down to the Missouri River via the rest of the Line Creek Trail.
