The Ohio to Erie Trail is a dedicated multi-use trail crossing Ohio from southwest to northeast, crossing 326 mi (525 km) of regional parks, nature preserves, and rural woodland.
The trail, named after its endpoints, extends from the Ohio River at Cincinnati to the Lake Erie at Cleveland, primarily integrating former rail trails and multi-use trails into a dedicated trail.
Roughly 85% complete as of early 2023, construction began in 1991, with sections completed as recently as 2022.
Remaining on-road segments, designated as routes, substitute for the as yet undeveloped final sections of fully-segregated, dedicated path.
The trail serves a variety of user types. Non-motorized movement includes: bicyclists, pedestrians, hikers, and — on certain sections — equestrians, with or without buggies.[2] In addition, certain motorized e-bikes are allowed to use the trail.[3]
The surface itself varies, including asphalt, cement, concrete, crushed limestone and hard-packed earth.
