O'Bannon Creek Bridge

The O'Bannon Creek Bridge is a pedestrian crossing in Loveland that spans across a waterway in Little Miami State Park, serving cyclists, pedestrians, and hikers. The structure features a steel frame with a concrete deck and was recently upgraded to provide improved safety and accessibility for all users.

Built in 1923, this structure replaced an earlier double railroad track that once crossed at this location. Since its construction, it has remained a vital connection point in the area's transportation system.

The bridge connects different sections of the Loveland Bike Trail and serves as a meeting point for people exploring the Little Miami area by bike or foot. Visitors gather here to move between the park's natural spaces and enjoy outdoor activities.

The crossing accommodates cyclists, pedestrians, and hikers with improved safety features and accessibility after recent upgrades. The well-maintained surface and surrounding infrastructure make it easy to navigate the trail system.

The crossing was originally part of the railroad infrastructure and was later transformed into a public recreational path, fundamentally changing its purpose. This conversion shows how historical transportation routes now serve modern leisure activities.
