Crack Filling in Greene County

As part of Greene County Parks & Trails' long term care program, they are following the sealcoating of the trails with crack filling. This project will be affecting the Little Miami Scenic Trail (in Greene County), the asphalt sections of the Wright Brothers Huffman Prairie Trail, and The Xenia-Jamestown Connector from Frank Seaman Park to St Rt 72. The work is tentatively scheduled for next week - the week of June 30 through July 4. There is not a specific schedule yet; they are watching the weather.

Closures for Safety Upgrades

The Simon Kenton Trail within the City of Urbana is scheduled to close for a 14 day duration on Monday, June 23, 2025. A pending trail closure notice has been installed along the trail at College Way/Muzzy Road and at Julia Street. Once the trail is closed, a signed trail detour will be in place for trail users. This closure/detour is necessary as part of a grant funded safety project to improve the existing trail crossings on Miami Street and North Main Street. For additional information, please contact the City of Urbana Engineering Office: (937) 652-4324.

Tour de Darke 2025

Spend your Sunday morning in the saddle riding through the scenic countryside and quaint communities of Darke County. 

This event is not a race, and instead a tour of the sites.  There are four scenic routes to appeal to all cyclists - Mini (14 miles), Bambino (25 miles), Medio (40 miles) & Gran (65 miles). All routes begin and end at the Bish Discovery Center (404 N. Ohio St., Greenville OH 45331). 

Washout Near The Dayton Art Institute

The heavy rains and high water at the beginning of April 2025 have washed out a section of the Great Miami River Trail in downtown Dayton, near the Dayton Art Institute. The location is on the "river-right," north (northwest) side of the river, just west of the I-75 overpass.

Large metal plates have been placed where the path used to be as a temporary measure. See picture below for current conditions.

GMR Trail South of Crains Run Park

The Montgomery County Engineer's Office and their contractor will continue construction on Dayton-Cincinnati Pike just south of Crains Run Park, between Miamisburg and Franklin. This project will include work on a new retaining wall between the road and the Great Miami River Trail.
