I’ve ridden this trail down to Xenia and back last summer and it was nice for the most part. This year I noticed a bit more unmarked large bumps and aggressive erosion alongside the creek. Currently the bridge to cross Buck Creek is closed and I’ve not come across anything indicating it will be fixed. Although the bridge appeared to be sturdy enough to support a walk, my boyfriend and I found an alternate route by car. Biking on Croft road did not feel safe to me but, other bikers accepted the unmarked detour. untilyou a
Loved the trail - only did Xenia to Yellow Springs and back, in conjunction with one of the connector trails. Signs use trail numbers vs names, which we didn’t realize until we were on trail… Also, not clear signage at key intersections where trails intersect or turn. Won’t be a problem if you’re expecting/prepared for it, but not as clear and user friendly as many other top tier rail trails we’ve ridden.
Trail is poorly marked and littered in trash and glass. It looks like they’re adding new segments near the creak but most of the trail is still on city sidewalks covered in glass. Zero pride in this community. Worst trail in this area.
A nice trail thought there isn’t anything to see expect endless cornfields.
The trail itself is exceptional since it was recently repaved. The only drawback is getting to the trail from Xenia Station, busy intersection to get through and ride along the street to get to the trail itself. Once on the trail it is a beautiful ride, slight incline most of the way east, coming back is a lot of fun. There are rest area opportunities spread out along the trail and there are restaurants in Xenia and Jamestown. If you’re not a fan of crossing roads, this may not be for you, about every mile, you will cross a road, most of them are not that busy, but a couple are. Enjoy the ride, we thought it was a great ride.
How about a round of applause for the cities, counties, employees, and volunteers who put this great trail together. Unlike the LMRT, this trail is not a state park but a series of parks in many jurisdictions. I do not know who coordinates this effort to create the ‘whole’, but good job.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
We rode about 35 miles of this trail August, 2024. Day 1: D street trailhead to Williamsburg (22 miles round trip). Very rough road in Richmond and heavy traffic at 2 road crossings. Once we got to Webster it was a lovely ride to Williamsburg. Porta-john at Webster and Williamsburg. Nice little shelter with picnic tables in Williamsburg too. Day 2: Williamsburg to Losantville (25 miles round trip). Alternated between wooded areas and open farmland. Saw some animals and birds - including cardinals. The last 3 miles into Losantville follows US 35 and there is a lot of vehicle noise but the trail does not force you to cross US 35. We did walk across 35 in Losantville to gas station for drink and snack - there was some tables and chairs outside. Also used the restroom. Day 3: Medford north to just past US 35 (27 miles round trip). This is roughest part of path we rode. There were not only horizontal cracks but also deep vertical cracks in pavement that were dangerous to bike tires. Not much shade and not very scenic with several heavy traffic rode crossings, including crossing US 35 twice. We did stop at depot in Muncie. Nice restrooms, gift shop and trail info, including mileage chart that I did not find online anywhere.
In Piqua, Troy and Dayton, trail is not always marked. You know you're on A trail, but not WHICH trail, or, on on-road sections, it is not clear where the trail goes. In addition, trail surface is quite rough for lengthy distances. Not recommended.
Rode the Roberts Pass trail in both directions and found it to be a great trail. The tree cover shields from headwinds and midday sun.
We ride this trail very often from Milford to Yellow Springs and love this portion of the Trail. We went North of Yellow Springs for the 1st time back in 2022 heading to Urbana. for the 1st time my husband and I felt unsafe on the trails in Springfield area. We have been on 100's of miles of the trails all over Dayton, Troy, Miamisburg, Piqua, Loveland, Morrow, Beavercreek, Xenia, Cincinnati. I have never feared being on the path with my husband. This was the 1st time we made it a point to turn around before getting to our planned stopping point to be sure we had the energy to keep a steady pace to get back through an area without slowing or stopping. Homeless, graffiti, glass on trail, we love riding but will not go on this portion of trail again. I want to be clear it was only the Springfield area. If going North of Yellow Springs I would stop at I believe it was called Beatty Park, skip Springfield area and hop back on at a different time north of Springfield. I will Note that we never passed any other bike riders in this area in either direction, which we have never encountered being completely alone for a few miles. (I previously posted this some how on a 2nd account i was unaware I had until today.) We have not been back on the trail in that area for the past 2 years, however we were in that area a few weeks ago by car, and the path was not looking any better than we remembered.
