Eventually, this section will be 29 miles long, and one link in the Ohio River to Lake Erie Trail. So far, there are 10.1 miles paved, and 12.2 miles of primitive earthen surface sections open. The two paved sections have a parallel, finely crushed limestone trail for horses and horse-drawn buggies. In fact, the Holmes County Trail Coalition received a $541,000 Amish Buggy Safety Fund grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation. Also, the coalition received a TE-21 $1.8 million grant, and an additional $410,000 from the Clean Ohio Trail Funds/Ohio Department of Natural Resources. That totals about $2.75 million, so far. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/riverfront ffbf324368be3dd4eb6e1510ae892435 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:23:28 -0400 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=riverfront http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/riverfront/03_24_2008_011.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/riverfront/03_24_2008_011.sized.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/riverfront/03_24_2008_011.thumb.jpg This walking/ bicycling trail would run along Covington, Kentuckys floodwall, and be part of the proposed Southbank Partners Riverfront Commons development.

Contrary to the "bikeway" name, this is a true rail trail, and a nice one, too. That scene along Ohio University looks like a picture postcard. Athens is about 3 hours east of Cincinnati on OH 32/The James Rhodes Appalachian Highway, but it is a nice, 4-lane divided highway. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/Simon-Kenton-Trail afe22cd4f415c56bef999be5f882222c Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:20:57 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Simon-Kenton-Trail http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Simon-Kenton-Trail/Simon_Kenton_Trail_002.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Simon-Kenton-Trail/Simon_Kenton_Trail_002.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Simon-Kenton-Trail/Simon_Kenton_Trail_002.thumb.jpg I measured 14.7 miles from Springfield to Urbana, OH. Phase I, II, and III are complete. On that flat terrain with only corn and soybean fields, the trail looks like it goes on to infinity, but it's only a few miles. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/Richland-B-O 3e016630d975dbce7d51349b4f4f75d1 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:20:28 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Richland-B-O http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Richland-B-O/I_71_Overpass_at_Lexington_OH_001.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Richland-B-O/I_71_Overpass_at_Lexington_OH_001.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Richland-B-O/I_71_Overpass_at_Lexington_OH_001.thumb.jpg This is a nice 18 mile, East-West trail from Butler to Mansfield, OH. There is plenty of parking at three places: the West end at Mansfield, the midpoint at Lexington, OH, and the East end at Butler. The last time I looked at their web site, there is a possibility of extending the trail from Mansfield to Ashland. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/columbus 9ee37c678c343b00de822ce7817062c9 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:19:24 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=columbus http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/columbus/Along_Berliner_Park.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/columbus/Along_Berliner_Park.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/columbus/Along_Berliner_Park.thumb.jpg This is probably an example of how not to route a rail-trail through a city. Its 18 miles in length, that is if you can stay on the route. The South and North sections are okay, but the rest has endless route turns on city streets and too much traffic to avoid. The trail goes right through the downtown business section, and the Ohio State campus. There are route signs with a bicycle pictograph, but sometimes they are hard to see while avoiding traffic. One good thing about going through downtown is there is a Brewery District with a lot of brew pubs and taverns on and around Front Street. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/Terrace-Park-Extension-2006 b016429e7f3bda70a033da43bc764427 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:19:00 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Terrace-Park-Extension-2006 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Terrace-Park-Extension-2006/Terrace_Park_north_to_Milford.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Terrace-Park-Extension-2006/Terrace_Park_north_to_Milford.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Terrace-Park-Extension-2006/Terrace_Park_north_to_Milford.thumb.jpg This segment extends the Southern end 2.7 miles from Milford through Terrace Park almost to Newtown. It was dedicated on June 10, 2006, and is another link in the planned Ohio to Erie Trail. The State of Ohio bought this right-of-way in 1979, but the Village of Terrace Park was able to block paving the rail-trail for 27 years. I first rode this segment in 1997 when it was only a dirt path. It wasnt officially open for use, but it was kept clear. The before and after is remarkable. Ohio really does a nice job of developing their linear parks, and adding the necessary parking and facilities. There are plans to pave another 3.5 miles of the abandoned right-of-way to Lunken Airport. There it will connect to the Lunken Bike Path. The City of Cincinnati is committed to building a series of bikeways to complete the connection to the Ohio River on the riverfront. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/Dayton d82d52638756efd75bb0ccb3c9670a06 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:18:10 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Dayton http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dayton/Along_Great_Miami_River_North_of_Rice_Field.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dayton/Along_Great_Miami_River_North_of_Rice_Field.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dayton/Along_Great_Miami_River_North_of_Rice_Field.thumb.jpg This is commonly called the River Corridor Bikeway; 22.6 miles in length. It is not a rail-trail, but an inner city bikeway along a waterway. I first rode this in 2000 and was pleasantly surprised. It has hardly any elevation changes, and very few routes on roadways.I took these pictures in early November 2005 and May 2006. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/piqua fb27938ffbb22408f892abf5ab34dc1b Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:17:15 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=piqua http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/piqua/East_Trailhead.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/piqua/East_Trailhead.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/piqua/East_Trailhead.thumb.jpg March 2007. These three trails make up an 11 mile triangle loop in Piqua, OH, 30 miles north of Dayton. The Linear Park section goes East-West 5.5 miles; 2.3 miles into Downtown, and another 3.2 miles, past French Park and the Hydraulic Canal Path, to its West terminus. The Hydraulic Canal Path goes along a former man-made canal, with remains of its locks. The Rivers Edge Section starts under the Downtown bridge over the Great Miami River and heads Northwest along the river. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/LBS-CSX 589b644892f0d7813afa1c4b41cc7e16 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:12:27 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=LBS-CSX http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/04-06-lbs-carter/Down_the_hill.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/04-06-lbs-carter/Down_the_hill.sized.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/04-06-lbs-carter/Down_the_hill.thumb.jpg This top level album contains 3 albums. http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/Dawkins 1fd240aa0ab56a9c1b9d7252e96b3d8f Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:11:38 -0500 http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Dawkins http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dawkins-Public-Meetings-Nov-14-15-2007/Before_the_meeting.thumb.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dawkins-Public-Meetings-Nov-14-15-2007/Before_the_meeting.sized.jpg http://www.kyrailtrail.org/gallery/albums/Dawkins-Public-Meetings-Nov-14-15-2007/Before_the_meeting.thumb.jpg Contains 4 albums of pictures of the ROW, cycling and horse back rides near the ROW and public meetings about the possible conversion to a RT.
