Tuesdays on the Trail: St. Charles to Machens

6/24/2025 | Katy Trail State Park

Senior citizens are invited to experience Katy Trail State Park and Rock Island Trail State Park from the comfort of an open-air tram during the Tuesdays on the Trail tours. This annual tram tour series consists of eight tours at various locations along the Katy and Rock Island trails. These tours are round trip and last approximately two hours. A variety of routes give visitors a chance to see stretches of trail they may not be able to experience otherwise.

The June 24 tours will take visitors from St. Charles to Machens and back on the Katy Trail. There will be a morning tour and an afternoon tour, each hosting approximately 50 people. An interpretive guide with a PA system will give a presentation on the history of the Katy Trail and will provide commentary on natural and cultural features along the way. Snacks and bottled water will be offered to each participant.

Tours are free, but space is limited and registration is required. Registration for the June 24 tours opens on May 6.
