Yesterday we did start at the Tingler Road trail stop and rode up to Losantville and back, around 42 miles total. We LOVE this trail! My wife is excited to come back and ride the remainder sometime. A perfect trail to get lost in your thoughts, listen to the many beautiful bird songs and make train whistle sounds at the W signs signs
This trail is closed 2.5 miles north of the Richmond trailhead. There are no signs indicating this or a detour around to connect it. Construction on I-70 is ongoing and I’ve been informed that the trail is open north of this point.
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.
Love this trail from outside of Piqua near the lake and dam, to Troy. Was a paved trail with a few bridges and hills. Little challenging if you are not use to grades on trails. Few Porta potties along the way. Benches too.
This trail is fantastic and an easy day ride. I would not venture any farther north than the Hartman Rock Garden, which I would recommend seeing. That’s because the trail is dangerous in Springfield. It’s scary, goes through a rough part of town, with loose dogs, shady characters and “call 911” painted along the trail for good reason. Heading south from the rock garden is a joy with many sights along the way. This is one of my favorite rides in Ohio so far.
This trail was a very enjoyable ride. It was flat, pretty much straight and had many little spurs to get off to different parts of the area. I connects to the 3 mile long Buck Creek Trail and a very close connection to the Pleasant Run Trail (8 miles approx) so you can get a good amount of miles in with these trail connectors. They have a solar System Kiosk system with information about the Sun and the 8 closest planets (Mercury to Neptune). The trail itself looks new, especially in certain parts of it. It is well maintained and has good signage, although these have some gang signs on them. Some parts have absolutely no wind protection and other parts have solid trees on both sides of the trail. There is a little music area that you can play musical instruments and benches are plentiful.
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.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
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.
The trail was in great shape, especially for early Spring . The only issue was some gravel wash out from the tracks near Metamora; wider tires are helpful. Lots to look at on the canal. Pleased to see restrooms which are always welcome. Lots of food available when open.
