Nickel Plate Trail
IN - 37.8 miles
Surfaces: Asphalt
A wonderful trail that slowly climbs out of Xenia. It begins with a canopy of trees and later turns to fields. An Inn on the trail in Cedarville warmly welcomes cyclists for a rest stop. It saved us from a passing thunderstorm.
Five Stars. We rode 51 miles.
Xenia is a casual cyclist's version of heaven. Five trails radiate out of this town. "Xenia Station" is the nucleus. Find yourselves a nice bed and breakfast and spend the week.
This is a great warm up trial. Nicely maintained. We did 42 miles in May 2024 to start our week.
South out of Xenia this trail deserves a five-star-plus rating. Well maintained, wooded with a river, you will be tempted to ride this forever. We did 60 miles.
North is a little more urban but still a five-star trial. We did 41 miles. Thank you, Xenia!
Another one of the five great trails out of Xenia. This is a good one to close out a week of riding. Thank you, Xenia!
Nice Trail but can't wait for that section to be completed from Glenmont to killbuck. I sure did not enjoy riding on Route 520
This is our first time in Chattanooga and thrilled to find this trail. The long boardwalks take you above the Chickamauga Creek into the trees looking down. So cool! If you like nature, this trail is a must. We started the trail at Camp Jordan Baseball field. It links up with the Tenn Riverwalk Trail, which we took into downtown for lunch at Tony's. After our lunch we went a bit past our Greenway Trail connection to see the dam and then returned to the baseball field on the Chickamauga Greenway... a total of 35 miles. Easy ride on an eBike.
Over run with cyclists. Many very inconsiderate. They don’t ring their bell until right behind you. Should be a biking speed limit. Many older people can’t move out of the way when there are pairs of cyclists that stay side by side. Extremely inconsiderate. Not all but too many are.
I was pleasantly surprised by this trail. Almost the entire trail is covered with trees like a boulevard with a stream on one side and upscale homes on the other. There are two points where you have to cross the street, but the trail is well marked on the street and I never felt unsafe.
Great trail...well marked and fun ride. Bathroom services along the way and places to eat between Montour and Pine Vally.
Nice for biking and walking. Passes by a playground and some scenic woodsy areas as well as some residential. Not a very challenging trail in terms of hills.
Very nice trail.
Worth the ride, super shady.
It is not connected to the other side of the river. Live and learn, I will start further down the trail on the west side of the river next time.

Mostly flat ride. Some sketchy areas, but nothing awful. Links fairly easily to other trails to put in more distance.
Easy to walk and lots of nice views to see!
