We rode from the Xenia station to Yellow Springs very nice ride and sunny and shady both very nice ride paved trail well marked Love Yellow Springs with its bike friendly and a lot of eateries I will be going back
We loved this trail even road some of the little Miami trail with it. Yes there are hills but they were lots of fun. Hubs and I love to ride and find great trails to ride.
This trail really isn't much of a trail as at least half of it is on roads used by cars and in most of those places the shoulder is a foot or two at the most so you truly are on the road. The one saving grace is that the roads are very lightly traveled. The west parts where it is trail is nice and scenic, the east part is noticeably older although in decent shape. The trail does have moderate hills and is very shady. The trail would be much higher rated if it wasn't on roads for over half of it.
Love this trail from outside of Piqua near the lake and dam, to Troy. Was a paved trail with a few bridges and hills. Little challenging if you are not use to grades on trails. Few Porta potties along the way. Benches too.
This trail is fantastic and an easy day ride. I would not venture any farther north than the Hartman Rock Garden, which I would recommend seeing. That’s because the trail is dangerous in Springfield. It’s scary, goes through a rough part of town, with loose dogs, shady characters and “call 911” painted along the trail for good reason. Heading south from the rock garden is a joy with many sights along the way. This is one of my favorite rides in Ohio so far.
I have hiked this trail about 30 times and 3.3 miles is point to point the total mileage down and back is 7 miles. If you combine this trail with the Luther Warren peace path it is a little over 9 miles.
Loved the trail - only did Xenia to Yellow Springs and back, in conjunction with one of the connector trails. Signs use trail numbers vs names, which we didn’t realize until we were on trail… Also, not clear signage at key intersections where trails intersect or turn. Won’t be a problem if you’re expecting/prepared for it, but not as clear and user friendly as many other top tier rail trails we’ve ridden.
I ran this trail on December 26, 2024. Started at the 5-mile road section and ended at Waites Rd. This measured 2.13 miles. Then picked up again at Ebersole Community Center and ran that entire segment including the off spur to canoe ct/trailhead, ending at Corbin Street and this measured 5.16 miles. The last segment started at the Crystailine Tower and ended at Smith Street and that measured 2.75 miles....so that is closer to 10 mile run. The site measures it as close to 8 and I don't know if they just didn't include a segment or not, but it was clearly closer to 10 miles. The sites were fantastic and the middle segment has some breathtaking views of just amazing wide open views around the airport. I would run this more if I lived closer to this trail. I never felt unsafe on the trail and there were quite a few people on the trail with the nice weather in December. HIghly recommend the trail :)
If you are looking for a quiet woodland and rural trail, this is it. Very well maintained pavement with benches for resting. Bridges that cross a quiet creek. Lots of wildlife to see. Open areas with rural views. It’s the Goldie Locks trail…not too long, not too short.
How about a round of applause for the cities, counties, employees, and volunteers who put this great trail together. Unlike the LMRT, this trail is not a state park but a series of parks in many jurisdictions. I do not know who coordinates this effort to create the ‘whole’, but good job.
Very clean trail that borders the college. Bountiful with wildlife and wildflowers. Nice variation of grades.
