It is a great trail for people new to the sport as well. I am not from the area and only lived in Cincy for 6 months. Central Pa. As far as multiple loops are concerned I guess this trail is as good as any. As a Cincinnati trail, it gets 4 stars, but if I were to compare it to WNY or Central PA trails it would probably be a 2 or so. True, this trail is only 4 miles, but then ride it five times.
Public land means it is used by ALL public.
My point is, lousy reviews aside, this is a nice little trail to ease urban stress. It is well maintained, and has enough little features to keep you interested. It is not an epic ride, just fun. Cant follow when half are missing. I wont have to climb back into the car muddy and unsatisfied or get run down by a soccer mom that isnt paying attention.
