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.

Buckeye Scenic Trail

Nice ride for the area

September, 2025 by sjf0809

I parked at the school close to US 40 and rode the trail out and back in June. It passed farmland on the southern end and residential and businesses on the northern end, crossing several bridges and some streets. The trail was in fairly good shape. There is a bike fix-it station by the historic National Road Station. There are no restroom/port a pots available. I would encourage the park to put at least a port a pot near the southern end, but maybe it has been tried. A good trail for the area and probably a good training trail since there is a high school at each end.

T. J. Evans Panhandle Trail

Nice ride

September, 2025 by sjf0809

I took the trail during the last week in August, starting at the west end. It was trashy under the first bridge just at the beginning, but otherwise the trail was fine. I didn't have any problem seeing the chain link fence.

Views of the Basket Building are best going west, especially when even with the white-roofed greenhouses. Longaberger Basket closed in 2018 and it is now empty.

I could not find the parking lot on the west end as mentioned when I was on the corner of E Main St and S Morris St. I ended up parking at the St Vincent De Paul Thrift Store with permission. If one is going to do the whole route, there is better and obvious parking about midway at Marne and Licking Valley Rd NE as mentioned by others. There is a bike fix-it station less than a minute's ride from that parking lot at the trail side of the church. This would be a good place for a port a pot, since there are no restrooms along the way. The east end doesn't have parking either where the trail just ends.

There are a couple fast food restaurants and a convenience store off the path a couple miles from the west end. Some are at the bottom of a hill, so keep in mind you have to go back up the hill to get on the trail again.

Overall a good trail for the area.

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.

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..

Kokosing Gap Trail

Great trail!

Well maintained trail. The only thing missing is an ice cream shop.

Kokosing Gap Trail

One of Ohio's best!

July, 2025 by vicki1960

We try to get to this one every year commuting nearly 3 hours and staying in the area. Flat paved trail runs from Danville to Mount Vernon. Crosses the Kokosing river several times over historic railroad bridges, goes through Kenyan College at Gambier and passes through the old stone arch in Howard. Mostly shaded with some open farmlands. We saw a few deer. Connecting trails are Heart of Ohio in Mt. Vernon and Mohican Valley in Danville. All around great trail!

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.

Blacklick Creek Greenway Trail

Pickerington Ponds to To Hines & Trussing, then to 3 Creeks

July, 2025 by mbroder

Excellent trail. We parked at the Pickerington Ponds Park trailhead. There are bathrooms there with running water/sewer even though the map doesn't show it. Plenty of parking and nice park in its own right. The trail starts right at the parking lot. If I had one complaint, there could be more pronounced maps and signs along the trail. We missed the trail towards 3 Creeks Park and continued northeast through Portman Park and up Hines Road.

Note: The map shows a break in the pavement for about 200 yards or so just south of Refugee road. It's pavement straight through now.

The section along Hines Road up to Trussing is OK, but the trail is a modified sidewalk along the road, and the road is loud and busy, and crossing the side streets can be concerning. I realized we were going the wrong way when we got to Trussing Rd. and we turned around. Backtracking we saw the sign we missed and got back on course.

The segment starting where the path leaves Hines Road, to the Three Creeks Park trailhead, is fantastic. There is lots of shade. The trail passes a lot of nice parks and things. We saw deer along the trail. The trail goes over or under many busy roads that we would otherwise have to cross. The uphill's and downhills are gradual. All and all this is a great trail. We will definitely come back.

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!
