Xenia to Spring Valley, one way
Kids who are steady on a bike, with a grown-up meeting them at the end.
S South toward Cincinnati from Xenia Station
South of Xenia Station the Little Miami Scenic Trail follows the river through Spring Valley, Corwin, Morrow and Loveland toward Cincinnati. It is part of the Ohio to Erie Trail.
The southern half of the Little Miami is the long one. It runs through a string of small towns, and most of it lies inside Little Miami State Park, which Ohio DNR runs from Hedges Road in Greene County to Terrace Park.
The trail ends at Beechmont Avenue in Anderson Township on the edge of Cincinnati. Along the way it passes Caesar Creek State Park near Corwin, Fort Ancient, the Morrow trestle and Old Loveland. It is also part of the Ohio to Erie Trail, the Buckeye Trail and the North Country National Scenic Trail.
