The Little Miami Scenic Trail has 6 breweries between Mariemont and Kings Mill: 50 West Brewery - Mariemont Little Miami Brewery - Milford Trailhead Brewery - Miamiville Narrow Path Brewery - Loveland The Monkey Bar and Grill - Foster Cartridge Brewery - Kings Mill Cheers!
Trail was well marked and was not crowded. We have done the Rentschler Woods to Fairfield and it can be very crowded. Not particularly scenic but a good ride.
Trail needs a little work (roots and sticks) but nice short trail well marked. Bridge is closed with no indication as to why or how long it will be closed. We rode across adjacent car bridge and then confined on trail.
Nice short trail that links up with the Piqua Linear Trail and Great Miami trail for longer route. But the bridge is out until April 8,2021 according to sign.
Nice crushed stone surface. Went Bellefontaine to West Liberty, very quiet and peaceful. Received a wonderful frog serenade when passing a wetlands area! What a treat.
This trail was not marked in any way that let me know it was the Tecumseh Trail. Wasn’t very well kept and it runs by a water treatment plant that smells really bad. I would not recommend it
They finished the expansion this winter. Extends the trail by about a mile or two.
I’ve used this rout every weekend while I was at Columbus. Loved it. Wish I was back there
