Confirmed from Miami Recreation Trails' 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 Miami Recreation Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (52 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Entrance/Parking off of SR 202. Paved, flat trails connecting you to downtown Troy and the Miami River Trail/Bikeway.

★★★★☆ — Angela , Apr 2022

The Great Miami Recreational Trail is my absolute favorite trail system in the Greater Dayton Area. From riverbank hikes to rolling farmhill frolicks to wooded walks to suburban strolls, this trail system has it all!

★★★★★ — Eric , Aug 2018

Very nice trail for families. Well kept paths and even. Nice greenery on any path you take. Great place to run also. Plus the fall festival they have is great!

★★★★★ — C , May 2019

I have been on this trail several times. One of my favorite sections is between Troy and Piqua. Beautiful path and is shaded for a lot of it.

★★★★★ — Kris , May 2021

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.
