Wow! We had no idea the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) would be so memorable. If you’re looking for a multi-day tour with a variety of landscapes, long stretches of trail riding, some great trail towns, urban riding through major cities, and some quiet pedaling through Amish country, then this is a trip for you. The OTET website offers plenty of itinerary options, and the OTET Facebook group has a lot of helpful folks and information. We did an 8 day, credit card tour. We had memorable stays at the London Guest House, the Mount Vernon Inn and the Hotel Millersburg. Our favorite eateries were Red Brick Tavern, Lola’s in Cedarville and Miller’s Creamery in Millersburg. We rate this right behind the GAP on our favorite tours. Highly recommended.
Went from Springfield to Corwin. Spoke with some very nice folks while on the trail. Stopped in restaurant in Corwin and afterword spoke with two twin brothers Larry and Gary .
We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
I've ridden the LMST on average over 2,000 miles the past three years on my Aventon ebike. I enter the bike trail normally at Cartridge Brewing by riding the down the hill from Kings Island which is part of the city of Mason bike path system.
I've ridden to downtown Cincinnati, north to Springfield and created my own u-shaped ride from Loveland, OH to Xenia Station connecting to the Creek Trail west to downtown Dayton in order to access the Great Miami Bike Trail south all the way south to Trenton, OH (a 104.5 mi. ride).
2026 has had a few challenges as many sections of the trail north out of Loveland have undergone a refresh with digging out entire sections of the trail and blacktopping them anew. It's been fun to figure out how to circumvent these trail closings. I have gone off trail at South Lebanon where the trail is closed and followed Main Street into town and made a right on Mason Millgrove Road to arrive in a few miles at the next opening of the trail at Stub Mills Road just south of Morrow.
I'm thankful that I live in a state that supports an extensive bike trail system.
Tree across the path 1.5 miles outside Xenia heading toward Spring Valley. You need to get off the bike and move around it.
Trail is now open from Chillicothe into Washington Court House. Repairs have been completed to the two erosion closures. Many cracks in the pavement have been repaired but some remain.
From Eureka Ave to Hollywood Casino don’t ride alone, be cautious of trail hazards. I encountered between 10 & 15 individuals sitting on and around the trail using heavy narcotics, ‘on the nod’, plus two girls between 8 & 10 yrs of age sitting on the trail smoking weed. On my return I rounded a curve at high speed and almost collided with a car in mid path with its trunk open and two women standing at the trunk. A bike was laying across the path as well blocking all pavement. So much garbage, shopping carts, and scrap metal in the path. My co-rider hit something they didn’t see that sliced his tire. So many homeless camps along the path. Definitely not the 5 star, pretty ride described in the comments. I would ride the rest of the trail again but will never again ride between Eureka Ave. and Hollywood Casino.
This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Parked in Danville and biked over to Mt Vernon. Had lunch at Southside Diner. Walked up into Mt Vernon and visited some shops. Grand Hotel is beautiful. Trail was paved. Mostly flat. A bit downhill on the return trip. Lots to see and beautiful scenery!
We use this trail as a go between the Kokosing Gap Trail and the Heart of Ohio trail in Mt. Vernon. When in Mt. Vernon there is the old train station/welcome center with restrooms open bankers hours. Be sure to visit Ariel Foundation Park 1/2 mile from the Mt. Vernon train station welcome center. Many eateries near this trail. We went to the Southside Diner this time.
We travel over 3 hours to get to every year and stay in the area. Trail runs from Mt. Vernon to Danville. Connects to other trails at each end. This trail is paved in good to fair condition. There was a closure on the trail near Kenyan College approx mile marker 4. Word is they are doing repairs before a near future repave. We will see next year when we come back. Most of the trail is well shaded but some of it goes through open farmlands. Take the Mt. Vernon Connector and there are numerous places to eat next to the trail. While in the area visit Berlin Amish Country. All in all this trail is one of our favorites!
