at Katy Trail State Park
Out of caution, park and site events and programs sponsored by Missouri State Parks are postponed or canceled through April 30. We’re closely monitoring the progression of COVID-19 and its effect in Missouri. We’re sorry for any inconvenience; however, your safety is our top priority.
A variety of special events are held on the Katy Trail throughout the year. This calendar of events will be updated when new special event permits are issued.
All groups or organizations desiring to use Katy Trail State Park for a special event activity must obtain a special event permit from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Email or call 800-334-6946 to speak with staff at the Katy Trail State Park office located in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park for information on how to obtain a special event permit.
