Bike Paths

  • Xenia Station: The Hub of it All


    Xenia Station is located in Xenia on Miami Avenue between South Detroit St. (US 68) and Cincinnati Ave. (US 42) about three blocks south of the Greene County courthouse. Look for the B&O caboose. Restrooms are located in the replica of the original telegraph office. There is ample parking. This is the hub of all of the trails covered below. Unless otherwise indicated, all distances given are measured beginning at Xenia Station.

  • Little Miami Scenic Trail south from Xenia


    It is 52.38 miles from Xenia Station south to Milford. The name of the trail is derived from the fact that it follows the Little Miami River Valley. Also known as the Bullskin Trace, the Little Miami River Valley has served as a corridor of travel for over ten thousand years. Parts of the valley predate the Wisconsin Glacier, which set the current drainage system, having been part of the now extinct Teays River System that flowed north to Fort Wayne, Indiana. This section is very shaded with an abundance of natural serenity.
