Cass County: Starting line of the Katy Trail
This rural county’s patchwork of farmland and small towns is ripe for exploration.
Cass County, Mo., may not be on your radar screen if you don’t live there or in Jackson County, its neighbor to the north. But it’s up and coming in terms of population growth. It’s also a star in the Missouri trail system as home to the westernmost trail head of the 287-mile Katy Trail, the longest recreational rail trail in the United States. The Katy begins in St. Charles County (near St. Louis) and terminates in Cass County in the city of Pleasant Hill. Cass is also home to trails at Harrisonville City Park, connecting walkers to lakes, streams and woodland. You can also explore several Missouri Conservation areas.
