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.
I rode an out-and-back ride on the OgdenTrail/Elizabeth J. Looney Trail located in Wilmington, Ohio. This 3.34 mile-long rail trail is also identified as simply the Ogden Trail or the Elizabeth J. Looney Trail, and on a posted map of Wilmington Trails it was named the Elizabeth J. Looney Ogden Trail.
The trail is built on an old Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley Railroad Line which was later operated by the Pennsylvania RR, the Penn Central RR, and Conrail during different times of its operational history.
The Ogden Trail/Elizabeth J. Looney Trail connects to one end of the Luther Warren Peace Path at South Nelson Avenue and runs southwest until it reaches Ogden Road, where it presently ends. This is a nice trail; probably the best trail in the Wilmington trail network. The pavement is in great shape because it is new. The trail travels along Lytle Creek and crosses over it four times over its 3.34 miles. When you start your ride at South Nelson Avenue, you’ll quickly pass by the Wilmington Waste Water Treatment Plant and the Wilmington Landfill. After 6/10ths of a mile you are out of the city. For the remainder of the ride, the landscape along the trail toggles between wooded areas and farmland. On this particular weekday afternoon I encountered only two runners out using the trail – no cyclists. I imagine that you would likely encounter more users on the trail during the weekend. This was a peaceful ride and different from some of the other trails in the developing Wilmington trail network. If you live outside of the Wilmington area and you are considering coming to Wilmington just to ride this particular trail, I don't think that the trail is long enough to make your trip worthwhile. If you are coming to ride all or most of the trails in the city’s trail network, then that would be a more rewarding endeavor.
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.

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.
Some superb sections, but not quite enough length. Its a bit chopped up with sections unconnected and requiring street traversal to connect. Alongside Ohio River makes it world class for those portions, but just not quite enough. Overall, an A-, B+. Can't say I'm drawn to repeat but its fun and worth a single trip at least. If you wish to get off bike and do some things while there, it has enough to sustain that notion, for sure!
Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
I only recommend the 2 1/2 mile section from the Great Miami Trail to the Medler Conservation Area. There is a climb made somewhat easier by the switchbacks but the scenery is worth the effort. You will pass through woods and meadows. Medler offers a nice place to rest and refresh. Coming back down is a blast. We add this trail on to our ride from Franklin to Miamisburg.
I really enjoyed cycling this trail. It has some tough hills but the reward is long descents. Mostly shaded. There is a some road time but traffic is light and the roads are nicely paved. Because it is within a state park, speed limits were low and drivers were considerate. The trails are well maintained and the pavement is in good condition. Watch out for horse manure.
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
While there's no real breathtaking scenery along this route, it's a really nice ride. Well maintained, smooth, with a few towns and other places to stop. I did a video of my ride if you're interested in seeing more. https://youtu.be/tIFhje88VpQ
