Safety Warning
By Larry Bussard in March, 2006
"My name is Larry Bussard and I am a huge fan of cycling and the rails-to-trails project. I have ridden thousands of miles on the trails in Ohio and it is truly a dream come true for me. Recently I have begun exploring new additions to the R2T and one of those treks took me through South Springfield Ohio to downtown to north Springfield. Being my first time on that stretch of trail and I believe the stretch through downtown is fairly new I was shocked at the lack of care and misuse of the path. At times I was concern for my safety because of the type of individuals on the path and the graffitie painted everywhere, and also the trash and broken glass in numerous places.
I am very concerned and would not recommend any cyclist: solo, young, or the ladies venture on to this stretch of path. The area I am referring to is South Yellowsprings Street to Mitchell Boulevard.

Buck creek trail
By Jeff Studebaker in September, 2005
"The trail was very scenic and well amintained. It was not marked at the very beginning at Reid Park and we went a distance on an unrelated path before a local person directed us to the right area.

Also, it would be nice if better signage linking the Buck Creek trail to the Littel Miami Scenic Trail was establised.

Thanks for the work put into this trail. It is a wonderful use of the resource. Jeff"
