Buck Creek Trail (OH)

Bridge Closed

May, 2025 by vicar.josie

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

Little Miami Scenic Trail

Great trail, signage not awesome

April, 2025 by tod.hanson

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.

Slippery Elm Trail

Accessible and smooth

April, 2025 by normr

While in Bowling Green for an event, my wife and I rode 14 miles on this nice smooth trail. We initially planed on starting at the Montessori school, but despite it being Good Friday, school was in session and parking there was prohibited. We then drove the short distance to The Black Swamp Preserve trailhead and were rewarded with clean, modern bathrooms and a short connecting trail lined with tree swallows and bluebirds perched on their houses.
We rode south 7 miles into a strong headwind but mostly sheltered somewhat by the trees and bushes along the trail. At 7 miles the trail opened up for the foreseeable distance and this old guy decided we would turn back. The ride north was a "breeze". :-)
I would not call this the most scenic trail, but it is very well maintained with good facilities every few miles.
If you are looking for a relaxing enjoyable ride, you will not be disappointed

Towpath Trail

quite the tour

April, 2025 by alwysasoldier

Pretty scenery next to a lot of bodies of water and the river. There was a couple spots where it was iffy on where you were supposed to go and one that was caution taped off, but it was enjoyable. Choose how far you want to take it because I went the whole way and the only way to get back was to ride. Lol

Zoar Valley Trail

Section Between Rt 800 and Rt 416 Update 04/23/25

April, 2025 by gr8tech1

Trail still says it's closed, could the Great Trail Boy Scout trust be the reason?

Great American Rail-Trail

Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

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.

Chippewa Inlet Trail

Great Trail!

March, 2025 by hlk8503

Took the kids for a bike ride on this trail! It wasn’t over crowded. Beautiful scenery too! Enjoyed stopping at the parks along the way for the kids to play at.

Wolf Creek Trail (OH)

wolf creek Reeks

March, 2025 by thespaniard65

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.

Portage River Trail

Avoid

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nothing to see here but a river and a tree farm. Trail is very rough and uneven.

Warrior Trail

Nice

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail thought there isn’t anything to see expect endless cornfields.

Sippo Valley Trail

Very rough

March, 2025 by nussbaumkris1

This trail has really gone down hill. Rode it the other day and my wrist hurt for days because of how rough it is. Used to be my favorite trail now it’s barely rideable.

County Line Trail (OH)

Great scenic country trail. Paved the whole way and no incline.
