Paint Creek Recreation Trail

Beautiful landscape

November, 2024 by mpoling042220

We love to explore these trails on bicycles, it is has many spots to rest and plenty of beautiful to relax and take in the landscape. We love to pack a lunch and make a day of it. The trail is fairly easy to navigate, a few spots wind on and off the roadway,but no heavy traffic. ( Follow the signs)I would recommend packing your sunscreen,extra water and a light jacket. Very peaceful and relaxing, and great exercise.

Ogden Trail / Elizabeth J. Looney Trail

Serene Trail

October, 2024 by 8x46pfyzzf

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.

Xenia-Jamestown Connector

Smooth Ride

October, 2024 by mnjack778

The trail itself is exceptional since it was recently repaved. The only drawback is getting to the trail from Xenia Station, busy intersection to get through and ride along the street to get to the trail itself. Once on the trail it is a beautiful ride, slight incline most of the way east, coming back is a lot of fun. There are rest area opportunities spread out along the trail and there are restaurants in Xenia and Jamestown. If you’re not a fan of crossing roads, this may not be for you, about every mile, you will cross a road, most of them are not that busy, but a couple are. Enjoy the ride, we thought it was a great ride.

Great Miami River Trail

My Compliments bill.beue

October, 2024 by bill.beue

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.

Great American Rail-Trail

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

4-C Bicentennial Trail

Great Walking Trail

September, 2024 by 8x46pfyzzf

Very clean trail that borders the college. Bountiful with wildlife and wildflowers. Nice variation of grades.

Great Miami River Trail

In Piqua, Troy and Dayton, trail is not always marked. You know you're on A trail, but not WHICH trail, or, on on-road sections, it is not clear where the trail goes. In addition, trail surface is quite rough for lengthy distances. Not recommended.

Roberts Pass Trail

Beautiful Trail

Rode the Roberts Pass trail in both directions and found it to be a great trail. The tree cover shields from headwinds and midday sun.

Little Miami Scenic Trail

We love this whole trail other than Springfield area 5 stars to the other 70 miles of trail!

August, 2024 by cwn86cckz2

We ride this trail very often from Milford to Yellow Springs and love this portion of the Trail. We went North of Yellow Springs for the 1st time back in 2022 heading to Urbana. for the 1st time my husband and I felt unsafe on the trails in Springfield area. We have been on 100's of miles of the trails all over Dayton, Troy, Miamisburg, Piqua, Loveland, Morrow, Beavercreek, Xenia, Cincinnati. I have never feared being on the path with my husband. This was the 1st time we made it a point to turn around before getting to our planned stopping point to be sure we had the energy to keep a steady pace to get back through an area without slowing or stopping. Homeless, graffiti, glass on trail, we love riding but will not go on this portion of trail again. I want to be clear it was only the Springfield area. If going North of Yellow Springs I would stop at I believe it was called Beatty Park, skip Springfield area and hop back on at a different time north of Springfield. I will Note that we never passed any other bike riders in this area in either direction, which we have never encountered being completely alone for a few miles. (I previously posted this some how on a 2nd account i was unaware I had until today.) We have not been back on the trail in that area for the past 2 years, however we were in that area a few weeks ago by car, and the path was not looking any better than we remembered.

Nice well maintained rail to trail.

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.

Western Fayette Bike Path

not too crowded

August, 2024 by adamrazabatson

A good trail to use for accessing Xenia, the hub of Ohio's bike trails. Especially if you live south or east of the trail. Day-parking in Octa is allgood, but you need permission from the Village of Octa to park overnite. Have bikecamped from Octa to Yellow Springs and Octa to Dayton Metro Parks from Octa. There is a new State campground TRAILSIDE on the Jamestown connector
