I started in Trenton and rode to Piqua, spent the night there and road back the next day.. my trip north.. it was good until I got to Dayton.. somehow I didn't quite get on the right trail, I run two apps on my phone so as I was confused, I used my GPS for help.. it took me through a neighbor hood I wouldn't travel in at night.. but after I while my GPS put me back on the trail.. sort of the same thing in Troy but not as bad.. the trails go be better marked.. I really started likeing the trail more once I got through Troy.. very beautiful are.. and it was a great ride.. 69.28 miles one way.. I was very tired and very sore at the end of my ride and slept very well that night LOL.. on the way back south.. I found the trail somewhat better marked and easier to follow especailly though Troy and Dayton..
got down to Franklin.. and seen 4 to 5 American Bald Eagals.. what an awesome sight.. sadly by the time I got my camera out, all but one had flown off.. I was disapointed.. I waited around, hoping they'd come back.. but the didn't.. not while I was there.. I had to leave, it would be getting dark on me sooner than I like..
All and all.. it was a great ride.. very tired and sore but it was worth it.. I will probably do this ride again maybe next year... but got a lot other trails to ride before coming back to this one.. :)
Incredible find. Beautiful trail. We parked in Tipp City and started on mile 3 in the city park. Rode to Troy where trail splits but actually takes a left turn to historic downtown Troy (sign). Then in Troy trail splits again by river and to continue on to Pique you must stay on the right. Not under bridge but over it. There signs will show GMRT to continue on to Pique. (We follow trail going by Treasure Island. ). Trail ends at Lock 9 in Piqua. You are right downtown. Ate at Crooked Handle which is off trail.
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.
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.
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..
We started the trail at the horse park, and rode south from there. The scenery was gorgeous, although there is not a lot of shade. Luckily, there was a break in the weather when we were there from the oppressive heat we’ve been having.
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 loved this trail even road some of the little Miami trail with it. Yes there are hills but they were lots of fun. Hubs and I love to ride and find great trails to ride.
My husband and I rode the trail this morning. We are staying at the RV Park/Kentucky Horse Park so getting on the trail was very easy from our site. No loading up the bike and trike on the truck and driving to a starting point. The trail is nice with well maintained asphalt. The grass along the trail edges had been freshly mowed. You have to cross some streets but it wasn't a problem. Only complaint was it could have used more shade trees. Definitely a worth while ride.
