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.
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.
We accessed this trail from the Holmes County line. Seamless connection onto the Mohican Valley Trail at the Knox County line in Brinkhaven. Surface is paved in good condition. Trail is shared with Amish horse & buggy's. This is a great connection between the Holmes County Trail and the Kokosing Gap trail in Danville.
This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Parked in Danville and biked over to Mt Vernon. Had lunch at Southside Diner. Walked up into Mt Vernon and visited some shops. Grand Hotel is beautiful. Trail was paved. Mostly flat. A bit downhill on the return trip. Lots to see and beautiful scenery!
We use this trail as a go between the Kokosing Gap Trail and the Heart of Ohio trail in Mt. Vernon. When in Mt. Vernon there is the old train station/welcome center with restrooms open bankers hours. Be sure to visit Ariel Foundation Park 1/2 mile from the Mt. Vernon train station welcome center. Many eateries near this trail. We went to the Southside Diner this time.
We travel over 3 hours to get to every year and stay in the area. Trail runs from Mt. Vernon to Danville. Connects to other trails at each end. This trail is paved in good to fair condition. There was a closure on the trail near Kenyan College approx mile marker 4. Word is they are doing repairs before a near future repave. We will see next year when we come back. Most of the trail is well shaded but some of it goes through open farmlands. Take the Mt. Vernon Connector and there are numerous places to eat next to the trail. While in the area visit Berlin Amish Country. All in all this trail is one of our favorites!
Trail extension from Octa to Milledgeville near completion. Extension just over two miles. One bridge needs guard rails finished, and two road crossing in Octa to be completed
This trail is well maintained and very beautiful
We parked at the Newell Recreation Preserve on County Line Road and biked to Sunbury. Most of the trail is un-shaded as it travels through open farmlands. There are a few sections of the trail that travels through wooded areas offering shade. Trail surface asphalt paved in very good condition. Well maintained, the grass was cut along the trail. This trail connects seamlessly with the Heart of Ohio Trail for an addition 16 miles into Mount Vernon. Trailhead at Newell Recreation Preserve is a gravel lot, zero shade, no benches or anywhere to picnic (have a lunch/snack). Sits up high, like a wind tunnel anyhow.
