Confirmed from Great Miami River Recreation Trail'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.
Peaceful walking and biking path along the Great Miami River with access points.
What runners say about Great Miami River Recreation Trail
“Well maintained trail with numerous access points spread throughout the banks of the river.”
“I enjoy going and walking with my dog here it's very beautiful and the airport is nearby so you can watch a lot of planes coming and going.”
“It's very peaceful and calm and there's access to the trail that goes all the way through the city.”
Well maintained trail with numerous access points spread throughout the banks of the river. There are more popular areas of the trails such as downtown by the ice-skating rink, and less popular areas further down. Perfect place to go on a nice day for some running or walking.
Beautiful river walk, didn't do a lot of hiking, but the short hike I took I saw enough to make me want to come back.
It's nice to relax and walk around and bike ride, but not to good for fishing if you plan on eating the fish . One of my fishing Rods got stolen here, sad indeed
Its a fun bike trail that takes you through a peaceful part of ohio, and plenty of beautiful sights
