The MISSION of COMOTA is to build, maintain, and promote sustainable natural surface trail use near and around the Columbia, Missouri area. Est. 2018

Hey Trail Community, We’ve had a wet Spring and Hey Trail Community, 

We’ve had a wet Spring and Summer. Thursday’s (8/6/26) 4–5 inches of rain left many local natural-surface trails still drying out, with large muddy sections remaining. 

We are getting reports of needed trail maintenance and fallen trees on in the trail corridor. 

Local Trail Status 

Check @Rock Bridge Memorial State Park  FB page for current trail conditions.

All other local natural surface trails are use your best judgment during wet conditions. You may also encounter trail erosion, debris and fallen trees. 

If you do encounter muddy sections, please ride/hike/run through the mud, this helps avoid trail widening. 

How can you help? 

Please help us track and report these trail issues to our local land managers. 

What qualifies as a trail maintenance issue?
• Fallen trees within the trail corridor
• Washed out/eroded sections of trail
• Overgrown brush and vegetation within the trail corridor
• Broken or missing trail assurance markers and signs

 Where do I report the trail maintenance issue?
