Little Miami Scenic Trail
Little Miami Scenic Trail, Rail trail and state park in southwestern Ohio, United States
The Little Miami Scenic Trail extends 78 miles from Springfield to Anderson Township, following the path of the Little Miami River through forests and meadows.
The trail construction began in 1979 on former railroad tracks, with the first section officially welcoming visitors in May 1984 for recreational activities.
Each town along the path, from Yellow Springs to Xenia, maintains local shops, restaurants, and historical stations that display regional traditions and commerce.
Multiple access points with parking facilities exist throughout the trail, including Yellow Springs Station, Xenia Station, and numerous state park entrances.
The trail incorporates a 2,500-foot bridge that stands 239 feet above the river, marking the highest bridge point in Ohio.
