We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Benjamin Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area with playgrounds and picnic facilities.
What runners say about Benjamin Trail
“Perfect park to take the kids and play and start the scenic tour of tawawa and the many trails and playgrounds.”
Tawawa is a great place to take a hike or just relax and enjoy the scenery
Beautiful park with tons of trails and picnic areas. Seems to go on forever as you follow the many streams and tributaries. Tawawa lake offers crappie fishing, several nice playgrounds for the kids and a picturesque covered bridge add to the quaint feel of this Sidney Ohio metro park.
This trial makes you feel like you are no longer in Ohio. Parts of it have a very southern swamp feel to it, which makes it a nice change from many trails in the area. It runs along the river for a good chunk of the way.
Great trail to spend a few hours on exploring. The end of the trail has a nice section with plenty of rocks in the water to find crayfish.
