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 started in Xenia went to Octa and back to Xenia. Amazing trail to ride, there are roads to cross so make sure you stop and look. We had a great time on this trail. It is well kept up and mostly shaded, which was perfect for a July ride. Great job on this trial Ohio.
From Xenia Station to Octa and back, it is a smooth trail and relatively flat. The consistent tree canopy provides shade from the sun just when you need it (although the tree debris creates some hazards). The majority of the trail is in Greene County and well-maintained. The portion in Fayette County has some overgrowth along the sides. Overall, it was a beautiful day to ride!
Started on the north part of the trail going south. It switchbacks around a lot of major road infrastructure, but I didn’t have to cross a major road in any of the sections. I ended up getting a bit lost multiple times, but after about 3 miles in, it got a bit easier to navigate. It’s all paved and the part I road on was mostly good with a few sections of bumps. Definitely close to nature - i saw deer, rabbits, and a hawk catch another bird.
Fun variety of beautiful views. Trail was clean but could have had better markers in a few locations. Had to consult map several times.
Watch out for mud over the trail at the river just south of the Greenlawn Avenue bridge near Lou Berliner Park.
My husband and I walked this beginning to end and back in 48 mins. Not bad for my husband with a bad knee and hip plus we are both bariatric patients
Rode from Hope Schoolhouse to past King Hollow Tunnel. The section between Hope School and the first road crossing is mostly grass, but wasn’t a problem on fat tire e-bike. At the crossing you have to take the road to Moonville since bridges aren’t in yet, but once you reach Moonville it’s an easy ride. The road wasn’t bad either I didn’t pass any cars and only a few hills, but I’d give it 5 stars if it was finished. Also a visitors center at the schoolhouse that’s open on weekends.
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.
Went from Three Creeks Metropark to Westerville for an overnight. Trail was fun as it had a bit of everything!!
The southern part of the trail that starts at the Spindler Road Parking Complex or Dog Park has plenty of parking. From Spindler North to Franks Park the trail is gravel, and not great for road bikes. A lot of locals run, walk, or ride causal bikes on this part of the trail. If there is a heavy rain sections will have puddles. There are a few water features along the route which can be active with ducks, geese, and other birds. Franks Park has a parking lot as well.
From Franks Park North, the trail is asphalt. Until you reach Hilliard Rome Road. This section is more of a wide sidewalk than a multi-use trail. Once you reach Colonial Park Condos and turn into the Hilliard Municipal Park, it becomes asphalt again. There is a cross walk with lights on Scioto Darby and drives tend to respect as there is a lot of traffic here. The trail ends at the Heritage Trail, which can take you to Old Hilliard or out towards Plain City Ohio. The Hilliard Municipal Park has plenty of parking and also has trails for running and casual trail riding.
I ride this trail 10-15 a year at minimum and have road it a few times in 2025 already and trail is in decent shape. Great for runners and casual riding. I don't recommend Road Bikes south of Franks Park.
There is a project going on at the Municipal Park that may extend the trail West and another project that may extend the trail further south.
