Confirmed from Ohio to Erie 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.
What runners say about Ohio to Erie Trail
“Scenic beautiful trail, flat, nice folks on the trail, places to rest and eat.”
“North of Springfield your pretty much on your own, but, smooth and shady for awhile, then your out in the open cornfields, not much shade but still fun!”
People travel from other states to bike on this trail and the connecting routes. Mostly shaded by trees in the summer and places to stop and rest along the way. You'll see tons of wild life too (deer, beavers, rabbit, turtles, snakes). Every now and again a section will get resurfaced.
Fantastic place to ride! I rode the Little Miami part of the trail between Corwin and Xenia. It’s straight and flat, scenic and gorgeous, an all around great ride. Parking in Corwin was safe and well marked. There is even a little snack shop there for when you get back to your car. Definitely going back.
Great shaded trail running next to the Little Miami River. Very modest change in elevation. Beautiful scenery
A lovely trail for bike riding. We took the Little Miami Trail portion
