Northern Development

4/11/05 MCD web site

The Miami County Bike Trail Task force is hard at work developing a plan to extend the bike trail from the Montgomery County line north though Miami County... When complete, bikers, walkers, runners and skaters will be able to follow the path of the Great Miami River and Miami and Erie Canal as it meanders through the towns of Tipp City, Troy and Piqua in beautiful Miami County. The trail links parks, historic sites, and the river corridor with communities and provides an excellent venue for exercise, family fun and enjoyment.

Southern Development

A 28-mile [southern] extension of the Great Miami River Recreation Trail is planned from Crains Run Park in southern Montgomery County to the City of Hamilton. The Great Miami River Recreation Trail follows the Great Miami River and the towpath of the Miami and Erie through Warren and Butler County through the cities of Franklin, Middletown and Hamilton. When complete, the trail will connect cyclists, walkers and skaters with over 150 miles of existing trail in Montgomery, Greene, Clark, Warren and Clermont Counties.

Riverscape

[Riverscape] construction has been completed as of May 19, 2001. The bikeway now is part of the new RiverScape development in downtown Dayton. A great place to stop for some refreshments, history, entertainment, and an interactive fountain to cool off.
