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