ROUTE CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT:
The official Ohio to Erie Trail route has now changed to the eastern route around the Lunken Municipal airport on the Little Miami Scenic Trail. With this change, the OTET route northbound follows the Ohio River Trail and joins the Little Miami Scenic Trail at mile 0.
This change is already reflected on our interactive map and still shows the previous route as a light green alternative route.
