Paint Creek Recreation Trail

great trail

September, 2025 by kdavis3838

Next time I will start at Scioto Trails Group Home Area parking Lot and go toward Washington Courthouse. In the woods and quiet, and was a lot more pleasant than along the highway and going into Chillicothe.

Clinton-Fayette Friendship Trail

short and not fully paved

August, 2025 by tandemspeaks

Drove from Columbus on beautiful Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Rode from Borum rd parking to Melville - it’s only 7.1 miles one way and the last 3/4 miles is grass (not paved). Path is in great condition. Only facility is at Roger park and it’s scary, dark and torn up, unfortunately.

Little Miami Scenic Trail

Between the Ohio River and Morrow, very good trail.

August, 2025 by mbroder

We spent the weekend riding the trail from The Lunken Airport segment to the village of Morrow. This is a fantastic trail. It is well maintained and well marked. It has lots of things to see and do. There are many places along the trail to stop and get lunch.

We got on the trail at Milford. It was a Saturday morning and parking was full. A sign indicated more parking across the bridge and we parked in a city lot between Main and Water streets. I recommend scouting out parking before going to Milford. We first rode towards the Ohio River. There are many parks and things to do along the way. It looked like Fifty West Brewing (a restaurant/tavern along the trail) was hosting a bike event that day, we saw several hundred bikers there registering for something. Later 2 people wearing pinned on race numbers said the 2025 Tour de CROWN event was going on. That explained the many people with numbers on the trail throughout the morning. Just down the trail at Bass park, we saw some people Lawn Bowling and stopped to watch. A couple heard us arguing if it was Lawn Bowling or Bocci-ball, and came over and explained what we were looking at. Interesting. We watched for a while and headed on. We circled Lunken airport and headed back. We stopped for lunch back in Milford, eating at the Little Miami Brewing Company, sitting outside right along the river. The place was packed. Lots of Kayakers were eating there; they parked their Kayaks along the river and came up. There are also other nice places to eat in Milford.

After lunch, we rode the trail from Milford towards Miamiville. This segment of the trail is more shaded. Even though the trail is in an urban area, it seemed like we were in a more secluded setting. The trees and vegetation block out the city buildings. Not as much going on, but a very pleasant ride. We turned around in Miamiville and headed back to Milford.

On Sunday we got on the trail at Loveland. Parking was filling up but not full. Like Milford, research parking before going to Loveland. We followed the trail to the north through Kings Mill and South Lebanon, turning around in Morrow. The trail was more rural in this section, but still there are lots of parks along the trail. We ate lunch in Loveland at The Wicked Pickle. They had live music and we ate outside, very relaxing. There are plenty of other places to choose. I also had ice cream at Graeter's. Loveland was very busy. There were a lot of people on and off the trail. We walked around the town for a while, then headed home.

All in all, I strongly recommend this section of the trail. Although it is a 3 hour drive, we will definitely be back.

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

The trail was well marked, scenic and well-maintained. We rode it twice, once in each direction.

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.

Paint Creek Recreation Trail

Nice, Nice Ride

August, 2025 by timfitz256

This was an awesome ride.. I did a total of 63 miles of this trail.. trail could use some better markings along the way.. I started at Washington court.. rode though a nice park, but then had to go through an industrial park to get to the trial.. TrailLink did not show another trailhead on it's map that would have saved me about 2 miles going though that industrial park..
It was a very hot day that day.. but mostly the trail was covered in trees, there are a lot of areas or stretch's of trail that are out in open country and hardly any trees to take advantage of shade.. on that hot day, it was kind of rough to get through that area... lots of country side to see.. some of the trial got rough due to braking up of the pavement.. but still wasn't too bad.. road all the way down to Chillicothe, ate at a restaurant called "Sumburger".. cooled off there for a couple of hours (It was really hot out there) people in there was very nice.. they do have charging plugs in there to recharge you phone or battery if you have an e-bike.. thought that was cool...
All in all it was a great ride.. planning to head back there this fall when the fall colors are in..

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..

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.
