Dayton, OH – The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the publication/arrival of the Miami Valley Recreational Trails Map, 2008 Edition. The Miami Valley offers a wonderful system of recreational trails and public amenities to residents and visitors alike. This very practical map displays over 250 miles of trails stretching across a variety of terrain, as well as a mileage matrix for trip planning. For use on the trail, the map is printed on high quality paper with a water-resistant coating.

You can travel from the Taylorsville Dam through Dayton and on to Franklin via the Great Miami River Recreation Trail. Or, take the Creekside Trail from Dayton to Xenia, ride “the loop” in Piqua, or visit five counties along the Little Miami Scenic Trail and Simon Kenton Trail. Whether you bike or hike, skate or cross country ski, these trails were built for you!

    I am concerned about the new (about 6 years new) bike path bridge at Rip Rap and Little York. This beautiful bridge has never been painted and is rusting. What can be done to help save this bridge?
