The Boone's Lick Trail, or Boonslick Road was a 19th-century transportation route from eastern to western Missouri in the United States.
 Running north of and roughly parallel to the Missouri River the trail began in the river port of St. Charles.
 The trail played a major role in the westward expansion of the United States and the development of Missouri's statehood.
 The trail's eventual terminus at Franklin was the start of the better-known Santa Fe Trail.
 First traced by the sons of Daniel Boone, the path originally ended at a salt lick in Howard County used by the pair to manufacture salt.

Daniel Boone (November 2, 1734 [O.S. October 22] September 26, 1820) was an American pioneer, explorer, woodsman, and frontiersman, whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the United States.
 Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia but on the other side of the mountains from the settled areas.
 As a young adult, Boone supplemented his farm income by hunting and trapping game, and selling their pelts in the fur market.
 Through this occupational interest, Boone first learned the easy routes to the area.
 Despite some resistance from American Indian tribes such as the Shawnee, in 1775, Boone blazed his Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains from North Carolina and Tennessee into Kentucky.
