What It Is:

• 4.75 miles of Trail on a multi-modal transportation corridor (utilizing one of the three Oasis Rail lines)
• 12’ wide path from the Wilmer-Carrel St. Trailhead (near Lunken) to The Boat House (along Riverside Drive)
• Designed and developed using best practices for rail-to-trail design (American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association and the American Assn. of State Highway and Transportation Officials)

Benefits:

• Provide walkers, runners and cyclists a quick route to downtown free of crossroads and stop lights
• Increase development opportunities in the diverse neighborhoods adjacent to the trail
• Leverage our region’s most valuable natural resource – our beautiful river valleys
• Create another asset to attract young professionals and tourists to our city
• Connect to the 333 miles of the Ohio to Erie Trail
• Integrate with other regional transit systems including SORTA, TANK, Cincy Red Bike, and the Streetcar

How We Will Do It:

• The Ohio River Trail from Downtown to Lunken will be constructed primarily with private funding
• The Great Parks of Hamilton County organization will be the Builder and Maintainer of the Ohio River Way Trail
