Progress

The Ohio to Erie Trail and connecting roads were mapped using GPS data in June 2007. The trail and connecting roads are color coded so you will know the surface of the route.

Also, listed below are websites with additional information about The Ohio to Erie Trail and feeder trails.

Cincinnati

• A one mile portion of the Trail is now open along the Ohio River in Independence Park
• There is a trailhead with parking at Avoca Park, and this is an end point of the trail.

East of London to Columbus

• Six miles of Trail was paved during the autumn of 2007. The new paved section travels east from London (Madison County) to Wilson Road in Madison County.
• Be very careful on the street route from the end of the trail at Wilson Road to downtown Columbus. It is strongly suggested at Broad Street you take a COTA bus into downtown Columbus. Each bus has a bike rack.

Columbus to Westerville

•From downtown Columbus to Westerville the trail follows the Olentangy River bike path. The section through The Ohio State University is not in good shape and may have closed sections due to construction. Travel along the river, and the trail will start at either end of campus.

There are two routes through Westerville. The Alum Creek route is along Alum Creek, Main Street, Cleveland Avenue, and Polaris Parkway (becomes Maxtown Road). The Westerville downtown route follows the rail corridor that runs through the center of Westerville. Both routes link at Alum Creek and Schrock Road on the south and at Maxtown Road across from Home Depot on the north.

The trail begins/ends at Plumb Street in Genoa Twonship.

Killbuck (Holmes County) to Millersburg

Five miles of trail were constructed between Killbuck and Millersburg during the autumn of 2007.

Downtown Akron

The street route through Akron is very dangerous so be careful. Notice that the route is one way north and south
