The Ohio to Erie Trail is a scenic 326-mile trail that traverses the state of Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland and connects the Ohio River to Lake Erie, primarily on rail trails and canal paths. It passes through four major cities in Cincinnati, Columbus, Akron, and Cleveland. The trail also passes through many quaint small towns and miles of the Ohio countryside. Trail construction began in 1991 primarily integrating former rail trails and multi-use trails into a one large dedicated trail system. The Ohio to Erie Trail has over 90% dedicated bike trails, 3.6% streets, and 5.9% rural roads.
The Ohio To Erie Trail is a varied tour of the state of Ohio, from bustling cities to the serene and scenic Amish country. Find details, maps, and trail alerts at www.ohiotoerietrail.org. Photos used by permission of Ohio to Erie Trail.

Starting on May 1st I will beginning my attempt at the Ohio to Erie Trail. I will be going self-supported and headed northbound starting in Cincinnati.
Currently still out on my attempt. I wanted to post an update that I have shifted from self-supported to supported
How's the attempt going? Thinking about taking a crack at it during a family visit home either later this year or next.
I finished on Wednesday around 9:00 pm. It was a memorable journey and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about doing it. I would love to see more people attempting this trail. You can check out my Instagram or Facebook I posted updates and photos along the way. Feel free to reach out if you start planning a trip and if you are doing it supported I would love to assist I live in Columbus near the trail.
Congrats! How fast did you end up doing it in?
