Current Trail Conditions
- This trail is by far the worst drying in Cincinnati. It will take at least a full day to dry out after a rain in the summer. Spring and Fall will require 2-3 days minimum depending on temperatures and amount of rain.
- The older, flatter sections will rut easily. Please take care to not ride in the wet and not widen the trail tread.
