Wow! We had no idea the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) would be so memorable. If you’re looking for a multi-day tour with a variety of landscapes, long stretches of trail riding, some great trail towns, urban riding through major cities, and some quiet pedaling through Amish country, then this is a trip for you. The OTET website offers plenty of itinerary options, and the OTET Facebook group has a lot of helpful folks and information. We did an 8 day, credit card tour. We had memorable stays at the London Guest House, the Mount Vernon Inn and the Hotel Millersburg. Our favorite eateries were Red Brick Tavern, Lola’s in Cedarville and Miller’s Creamery in Millersburg. We rate this right behind the GAP on our favorite tours. Highly recommended.
10/9 trail still closed at this intersection. About 2miles north of Lexington. Beautiful ride from Lexington to Butler! Good lunch at Whiffletree Restaurant in Butler.
This is by far the worst trail we have ever rode on it needs so much work there’s nothing to see you ride through some of the worst areas of that town very disappointed. I love to go down to Lancaster to shop look at the cute town with all the little shops in it. However, this bike path felt unsafe, no or very little signage. The majority of the trail was still not open road construction everywhere in town to get to another part of the path you have to ride on parts of the highway to get to the other side It was a big waste of time and very frustrating. If I could give it a zero star, I would.
Summer, 2026. We biked the new section of the trail between Route 520 and Glenmont. No parking at 520. Parking in Glenmont. Very smooth asphalt. Trail has some S-Bends in it. Very enjoyable ride!
We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
Rode west toward Brinkhaven. The first 4 miles are very uphill. Got to the crest, saw it was downhill, and decided to turn back rather than having to repeat an uphill climb on the return trip. Then rode east til the off road trail ended ( about 4 miles ). Level path, much better, and called it a day ! Lots of e-bike riders in the parking lot.
Don't know how far past it is closed. Parked in Butler and rode to MM 10. Slight uphill going north. The next day parked in Lexington, and planned on riding to Mansfield. But came to the trail closure, repairing an adjacent road bridge. May have been a nice ride . . .
I've ridden the LMST on average over 2,000 miles the past three years on my Aventon ebike. I enter the bike trail normally at Cartridge Brewing by riding the down the hill from Kings Island which is part of the city of Mason bike path system.
I've ridden to downtown Cincinnati, north to Springfield and created my own u-shaped ride from Loveland, OH to Xenia Station connecting to the Creek Trail west to downtown Dayton in order to access the Great Miami Bike Trail south all the way south to Trenton, OH (a 104.5 mi. ride).
2026 has had a few challenges as many sections of the trail north out of Loveland have undergone a refresh with digging out entire sections of the trail and blacktopping them anew. It's been fun to figure out how to circumvent these trail closings. I have gone off trail at South Lebanon where the trail is closed and followed Main Street into town and made a right on Mason Millgrove Road to arrive in a few miles at the next opening of the trail at Stub Mills Road just south of Morrow.
I'm thankful that I live in a state that supports an extensive bike trail system.
Tree across the path 1.5 miles outside Xenia heading toward Spring Valley. You need to get off the bike and move around it.
We biked from Glenmont to Brinkhaven. Coming out of Glenmont it's a 3 1/2 mile uphill climb to Baddow Pass. Then 4 miles downhill the other side where it levels off before going under Route 62. We stayed on the trail to connect seamlessly to the Mohican Valley Trail. Pan Ohio Hope American Cancer Society was having their annual ride that day and we saw some riders. The trail is in very good paved condition.
From Eureka Ave to Hollywood Casino don’t ride alone, be cautious of trail hazards. I encountered between 10 & 15 individuals sitting on and around the trail using heavy narcotics, ‘on the nod’, plus two girls between 8 & 10 yrs of age sitting on the trail smoking weed. On my return I rounded a curve at high speed and almost collided with a car in mid path with its trunk open and two women standing at the trunk. A bike was laying across the path as well blocking all pavement. So much garbage, shopping carts, and scrap metal in the path. My co-rider hit something they didn’t see that sliced his tire. So many homeless camps along the path. Definitely not the 5 star, pretty ride described in the comments. I would ride the rest of the trail again but will never again ride between Eureka Ave. and Hollywood Casino.
