My wife and I rode on the Cardinal Trail from the southern end at Richmond up to Economy. We really enjoyed the most southern end from Richmond to Williamsburg. If you walk or ride this part of the trail, you will enjoy much shade from the overhang trees. It’s not a straight path either with some turns so that it has a little character to it. The pavement is in decent shape, although there are a few bumps along the way. However, it appears that trail maintenance is trying to minimize those root bumps. We truly enjoyed our bike ride today and would recommend other bike enthusiasts to get out there and enjoy the cardinal trail.
The Whitewater River Gorge Trail is short, but sweet! Despite heavy rains recently, and some mud from those rains across the path, this is a beautiful walk or ride. My wife and I found the trail accidentally at the southern end of the Cardinal Trail. We were so happy that we took this bike ride because it has lots of character and foliage to enjoy. You will cross a couple of bridges across the west Fork of the Whitewater river and wind your way down to an overlook at the end. You can stop and enjoy the stream there before you ride or walk back to the Cardinal Trail.
This is probably one of the most boring trails we’ve ridden. There aren’t even any cute little towns along the way to ride into and stop for lunch! ¿¿¿¿
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.
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!
Trail extension from Octa to Milledgeville near completion. Extension just over two miles. One bridge needs guard rails finished, and two road crossing in Octa to be completed
Trail in good shape. Goes from downtown Lebanon to the main bike trail from Cincy to Cleveland. It is hilly in places and many downhills end at a road crossing stop sign - so be prepared. I did this trail after an enjoyable ride on the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad.
We traveled over 4 hours to the Xenia area to ride this trail. We biked from Xenia Hub to Octa and back for just under a 40-mile round trip. Not real good signage from the Hub to this trail but we biked around until we found it! The trail is in very good condition, asphalt paved. The parks / county does a good job keeping the grass along the trail mowed. The trail is about half shaded and half open farmlands. We stopped in Jamestown for lunch at a Pub in town. There is a short paved path from the bike trail into Jamestown. Not much signage along the trail. Found nice restrooms at Caesar Ford campground between Xenia and Jamestown. At the Octa end we continued through the tiny one-block town and saw where it appears they are working on extending the trail East.
We stayed in Yellow Springs. Very quaint small town. Variety of restaurants and main street lined with shops. We biked from Yellow Springs to Springfield and back. Approx 20 mile round trip. The trail was well shaded and beyond the trees along the trail were farmlands and rural area. A few road crossings. Paved trail surface in very good condition and the grass was mowed along the trail. June, 2026.
The trail from Verona to trotwood was in great shape, appropriately marked, clean and no problems. Totwood South was problematic I decided not to take that today. A very nice ride with lots of things to see or stop.
