Erie to Ohio Trail - Miamiville to the Beechmont Levy - August 11, 2020

 


I was scheduled for a full day of scans at Christ Hospital. Bill, therefore, took his bike by car to our familiar Miamiville starting point. The plan for today was to ride to where the trail ends at the Beechmont Levy. Unfotunately, this branch of the trail does not currently connect to Rts. 32 or Rt. 125 at this time. 

Alternatively, cyclists can choose to leave this Little Miami Trail at Newtown Road and Wooster Pike and travel by road to the Otto Armleder Park. This is about a five-mile road trip through Mariemont that would require a lot of rider caution. The benefit of the second route is that it provides a direct connection to the Lunken Airport Trail. The part highlighted in orange represents the on-road portion.


Having explored both alternatives, Bill thought it was best to avoid the off-trail portion. Instead he retraced the top path to Miamiville, logging 22 miles round trip. There was only one short leg left to complete our mission of traveling the entire trail from Lake Erie to the Ohio River.
