September, 2026. This trail was built in 1995 and just this past August, completely repaved for the first time. Super smooth surface! Also new bollards and painted markers at road crossings. The benches are in the process of being returned since they poured new cement pads. Scenery is open farmlands, crops as far as the eye can see! There are a few very short trail sections that offer shade. Well maintained by Wood County parks division, we even saw them working the day we were there. I wouldn't call this trail isolated by any means, just a rural countryside area. Some of the trails in Pennsylvania are isolated as they run through wooded forests in the middle of nowhere. If something would happen to you, you wouldn't be found until hunting season! This trail is just very quiet except for the road crossings and those aren't even very busy. As far as trail services at each end, a few places to eat near the trail in Bowling Green and at the Southern end in North Baltimore, we found nothing.
The pavement is pretty bumpy, rough, and narrow the entire time, so your bum might not thank you if you ride your bike on this one.
Nice and scenic, as it takes you through local parks, nature, and a hospital.
Much better than starting in Delphos. Nice gravel bike ride trail. Coming back to ride it all soon
Nice trail well maintained. Loved the scenery and the rolling hills. Would love to see this grow longer.
I love the bike path being available in this small town
The first 15ish miles are paved and then almost EVERYTHING after that is stone and mud and dirt and you are in the middle of nowhere. Now, I could have done more research but I was not prepared to have to cut through random properties and factories to continue the trail. We had to cross a live railroad just to stay on track. The majority of the view is just cornfield. There are also not many places to stop for food or bathrooms or anything. You cut through wauseon, which has some places, but other than that there isn’t a lot. Anyways- I’m traumatized!
I started in Trenton and rode to Piqua, spent the night there and road back the next day.. my trip north.. it was good until I got to Dayton.. somehow I didn't quite get on the right trail, I run two apps on my phone so as I was confused, I used my GPS for help.. it took me through a neighbor hood I wouldn't travel in at night.. but after I while my GPS put me back on the trail.. sort of the same thing in Troy but not as bad.. the trails go be better marked.. I really started likeing the trail more once I got through Troy.. very beautiful are.. and it was a great ride.. 69.28 miles one way.. I was very tired and very sore at the end of my ride and slept very well that night LOL.. on the way back south.. I found the trail somewhat better marked and easier to follow especailly though Troy and Dayton..
got down to Franklin.. and seen 4 to 5 American Bald Eagals.. what an awesome sight.. sadly by the time I got my camera out, all but one had flown off.. I was disapointed.. I waited around, hoping they'd come back.. but the didn't.. not while I was there.. I had to leave, it would be getting dark on me sooner than I like..
All and all.. it was a great ride.. very tired and sore but it was worth it.. I will probably do this ride again maybe next year... but got a lot other trails to ride before coming back to this one.. :)
Incredible find. Beautiful trail. We parked in Tipp City and started on mile 3 in the city park. Rode to Troy where trail splits but actually takes a left turn to historic downtown Troy (sign). Then in Troy trail splits again by river and to continue on to Pique you must stay on the right. Not under bridge but over it. There signs will show GMRT to continue on to Pique. (We follow trail going by Treasure Island. ). Trail ends at Lock 9 in Piqua. You are right downtown. Ate at Crooked Handle which is off trail.
This is a very well maintained trail. Piqua is a very nice trail town.
This mostly sunny trail offers an excellent round trip distance so you can get a good workout, but doesn't offer much in term of sightseeing.
Loved this section of the trail. It's such a lovely ride with beautiful views of the canal, many bridges, winding paths through the trees and along the canal... Just a gorgeous and fun ride. We ebike and pedal mostly the first trip... Thet shows the trail stopping at Renschler Park, but you can ride to Timberhill Park. Stopped at Hamilton via the Marcus Park exit & had a Salmon Egg, roll appetizer & drink at Tanos Bistro. Definitely recommend. Delicious. They're was a festival going on, but we didn't feel like walking. Very nice part of Hamilton. If you want to make a day,, this Park is always busy & had a stage for live bands
