A few weeks ago, towards the end of July, I packed up my bike and myself and drove out to Ohio to ride the Little Miami Scenic Trail (LMST). This was a 5 1/2 hour drive for me so I stayed one night and had 2 rides on the trail. This is an excellent trail!

I have also just finished posting the ride photos and ride report of this trail on this site. See Little Miami Scenic Trail Photos and Ride Details for more information on this trail.

The photo included here is the old train station in the town of Morrow. To me, this is really a good visual example of what rails-to-trails is about, with the trail right next to the old train station.

The LMST is a 78 mile paved trail that runs from  Urbana, Ohio (northeast of Dayton) to the outskirts of Cincinnati and mostly follows the Little Miami River.

I rode about 71 miles on my rides but since I have to do round trip rides, to get back to my vehicle, I only covered about 35 miles or less than 1/2 of the trail. I rode from Xenia south to South Lebanon on the 2 rides. The trail was in great shape, fairly flat, not very crowded and just a really nice trail to ride. I would definitely recommend this trail if you get a chance to ride it.

As I mentioned above, there is a lot more information and quite a few photos on the LMST trail pages on this website that I linked to above.
