MO-224 — Napoleon to Lexington River Road
Fifteen easy miles of two-lane along the Missouri River bottoms between Napoleon and historic Lexington — relaxed sweepers under the bluffs, no traffic to speak of, and the Kansas City area's default after-work motorcycle road.
What you'll hit along the way.
Rider-verified stops, overlooks, fuel, and the corners worth knowing about — in the order you'll meet them.
Napoleon (west end)
Western terminus where MO-224 leaves the Buckner area and drops into the river bottoms — a tiny rail-line river town that marks the start of the run.
Wellington
River town and the only services between the endpoints — a natural spot to regroup before the road bends back toward the bluffs.
Lexington (east end)
The route climbs off the bottoms into Lexington's historic downtown — Civil War battlefield site, brick Main Street, and food before the ride back.
