If you're looking for a long, scenic road cycling experience, the Little Miami Scenic Trail offers a fantastic journey. This 76.0-mile (122.4 km) route, rated difficult due to its length, guides you along the tranquil Little Miami River, through lush wooded areas, and past charming small towns. You'll enjoy a consistently paved surface, making for a smooth ride as the landscape gently unfolds around you, from natural river views to glimpses of historic sites like Fort Ancient.
Planning your ride is straightforward, with numerous trailheads offering parking access along its length. The trail is well-equipped with amenities, including bike rental and repair stations in many of the towns it passes through. Since it's largely flat and paved, it's an accessible option for many, though tackling the full 1738 feet (530 metres) of elevation gain over 5 hours and 41 minutes requires endurance. Consider starting early to make the most of the day.
This trail stands out as one of the longest paved trails in the United States, built along the corridor of an old railway. Its rail-trail heritage means a gentle grade and a unique perspective on the region's history. It also forms a crucial part of the larger Ohio-to-Erie Trail, offering extensive connectivity for those who wish to explore even further into Ohio's impressive network of multi-use paths.
