Description:
The Simon Kenton Trail will connect Urbana and Champaign County with a developing network of statewide multi-use trails in Ohio. The trail will follow the abandoned Erie-Lackawanna rail line. Phase I begins at Woodburn Road, near Cedar Bog Nature Preserve and runs north to State Rt. 55 for a length of 2.5 miles. Phases II and III will continue the trail north into Urbana and south to County Line Road. As of July 1, 2001, Phase I is complete and open for public use. The trail will connect with Melvin Miller Park, the YMCA, the Champaign County Library, Urbana University, the Johnny Appleseed Museum, and the industrial park, creating a safe, alternate, non-motorized route through Urbana. Future development will connect the Simon Kenton Trail with the Little Miami Scenic Trail and the Ohio to Erie Trail, a statewide trail running from the Ohio River to Lake Erie.

Trail now complete
By greg forrester on November 16, 2006
This trail is now a complete trail from the north side of Springfield to the north side of Urbana. The trail scenery is a mix of woods and open farmland.

The bike route connecting this trail to the Little Miami Trail on the south side of Springfield is a mix of bike paths and surface streets that is not always signed.
