What it is

The connector starts on Washington Street, a short ride from Xenia Station, and runs through open country to Jamestown and on to the village of Octa.

The trail was finished in stages. A tunnel under US 35 opened in 2014, and the Fayette County section to Octa opened in 2022. An extension from Octa to Washington Court House is planned but not built.
