Roundtown Trail is a greenway in Circleville, Ohio which opened in July of 2017.
It is a linear trail, despite what its name might suggest. The trail stretches from the northwest corner of the Ohio Christian University Campus to the Pickaway County Family YMCA. The northern edge of the trail is bordered by farmland, whereas the scenery to the south shifts from natural areas to Circleville Elementary and High Schools. There are two bridges, each close to either end of the trail. The trail is 10 ft-wide and smooth asphalt, open to a variety of trail users.
Parking is available at both ends of the trail: Ohio Christian University (1476 Lancaster Pike); And YMCA, just west of Circeville City Schools Complex (440 Nicholas Dr).
This is a nice enough trail but it’s way too short. I supplemented it by riding around in Circleville. If they could find a way to tie it in to the Pickaway trail, they would really have something special.
Good trail for us and our pup. Just long enough.
I rode a quick out-and-back ride on the 1.5 mile long Roundtown Trail in Circleville, Ohio back in August of this year. The primary purpose of this trail seems to be to connect the Pickaway County YMCA to both the Circleville City Schools campus (high school, middle school, and elementary school) and the campus of Ohio Christian University. Both ends of the trail have a picnic pavilion. This is a paved trail that is in excellent shape. I think local residents would find this trail excellent for exercise purposes such as walking, jogging or cycling, but unless Circleville plans on expanding the trail or connecting it to the nearby Pickaway Trail; it is not one to seek out if you are not from the area.
Amazing trail for dog walking or bycicle riding
