Confirmed from Great Miami Recreational Trail #25's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.

What runners say about Great Miami Recreational Trail #25

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (35 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Well kept and so much scenery to take in.”

bike trail offers a one-of-a-kind journey through a realm where the supernatural and natural worlds collide. While it may appeal to adventurous individuals intrigued by paranormal encounters, it is not recommended for riders who are not willing to face the unexpected.

★★★★★ — Adam , Jul 2023

Very nice well maintained paced path. It is a bit more of an exposed section. With little tree cover.

★★★★★ — Zachary , May 2020

Enjoyed the part of the trail that was in the shade the best. The parking lot is on the small side

★★★★☆ — Lynn , Jul 2022

Love fishing the GMR and the trail makes alot easier to get back to some of the spots

★★★★★ — Charles , Aug 2019

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
