The trail extends from Victory Parkway near Xavier University through twelve local neighborhoods. As of now, Wasson Way is open from Ault Park to Montgomery Road. Future expansions are planned to connect the trail further east to the Little Miami Scenic Trail and westward to the Ohio River Trail, integrating it into the larger CROWN (Cincinnati Riding Or Walking Network), a 34-mile trail loop connecting various paths across the city.

Ault Park is one of Cincinnati's top parks. It has several picnic areas, multiple miles of trails, and multiple lookout points.

Ault Park is the city's fourth-largest park and was established in 1911 through the generous land donation by Levi Addison Ault and his wife, Ida May Ault. This spot is the heart of Ault Park. There is a Italian Renaissance-style Pavilion, constructed in 1930 with a large fountain in front of it. This elegant structure serves as a popular venue for weddings, dances, and private events, and provides visitors with panoramic views of the surrounding Little Miami River valley. Adjacent to the pavilion are the park's gardens, which feature the renowned Adopt-A-Plot program initiated in 1980, where volunteers maintain individual garden plots, contributing to the park's vibrant floral displays.
