Great Miami River Trail

Fairfield to Timberhill Metro Park

August, 2025 by myersfamily0305

Loved this section of the trail. It's such a lovely ride with beautiful views of the canal, many bridges, winding paths through the trees and along the canal... Just a gorgeous and fun ride. We ebike and pedal mostly the first trip... Thet shows the trail stopping at Renschler Park, but you can ride to Timberhill Park. Stopped at Hamilton via the Marcus Park exit & had a Salmon Egg, roll appetizer & drink at Tanos Bistro. Definitely recommend. Delicious. They're was a festival going on, but we didn't feel like walking. Very nice part of Hamilton. If you want to make a day,, this Park is always busy & had a stage for live bands

Great Miami River Trail

I would not suggest parking at the Trenton Trailhead. There are Cracks all the way across the trail for the first 8 miles or so, which means constant bumps. Also, no shade at all for those first 8 miles out of Trenton.

Great Miami River Trail

Lower part of the trail.. great ride

August, 2025 by timfitz256

road the lower part of the trail.. I was disappointed that the whole trail isn't connected.. but you have a good 10 miles (20 round trip) of the trail.. nice paved out trail that runs along the river.. there's a park along the way which was nice.. the trail wasn't over crowed.. I enjoyed this trail very much.. there is a hill near the end of the trail but wasn't too bad.. I ride an e-bike so it handled it pretty good..

Xenia-Jamestown Connector

Jamestown connector

July, 2025 by 2375cao

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.

Xenia-Jamestown Connector

Perfect Day, Perfect Ride

July, 2025 by spiritstonefrog

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!

Alum Creek Trail

nice but a bit difficult to navigate

July, 2025 by scott123180

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.

Scioto Trail

Fun variety of beautiful views. Trail was clean but could have had better markers in a few locations. Had to consult map several times.

Great Miami River Trail

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.

Little Miami Scenic Trail

Great Trail…Except

May, 2025 by stevegebhart99

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.

Alum Creek Trail

May, 2025 by blarnold
