Loveland Magazine: Loveland Bike Trail could become part of a National Scenic Trail

Local coverage of national trail momentum

Loveland Magazine recently reported that the Buckeye Trail—including the beloved Loveland Bike Trail segment—may soon earn National Scenic Trail status. The National Park Service is currently conducting a feasibility study to evaluate the Buckeye Trail’s eligibility for this national recognition.

The 1,454-mile Buckeye Trail spans Ohio’s diverse landscapes and connects 47 counties and more than 100 communities—including Loveland, a long-celebrated Trail Town along the Little Miami River.

A community proud of its trail and river heritage

“Loveland certainly, and rightfully so, brags of having the National and State Scenic Little Miami River flowing through our historic downtown,” wrote Loveland Magazine editor David Miller. “Now comes the opportunity to have a National Scenic Trail running, walking, and jogging through our renowned, resort-like community.”
