Trails range from easy to moderate. Introductory level singletrack. recently made open to bikers.
Take I-75 to the Cincinnati-Dayton road exit. If you were heading south, turn left. If heading north, turn right. Go down Cincinnati-Dayton road and turn left onto station road. Follow this over the railroad tracks and hang an immediate left. Follow this road until you get to Keehner park. Use the second entrance. It will be on your right (you will see tennis courts as you drive in). If you parked in front of the tennis courts, You should see a little white sign on the tree line. That would be the trailhead (in case you didn't know).
Summary: the trail is very soft right now. It is also muddy. It has more options than harbin park. It is the first time I have riden here, so I need to ride more to see how long the trails are. I rode the outside up to the powerlines into the back of the park. then down into the creek area. It was about 3 miles. See it is only 10 min from my house. It was not a bad trail. It is very hilly.
Recommended Route: Harbin, Houstin, Doing it out doors
Summary: I guess I'd call this my "home" trail since it is about 5 minutes away from my office. It isn't the best trail in the area, but for a quick ride after work it can't be beat. Some light maintenance work has been done recently and a couple of spots that were unridable are no longer a problem. It is surprisingly technical for the area, including one climb near the beginning that I've only seen one person make. Overall, it has a nice balance of climbs, downhills, and flats. The biggest downside is that it is poorly marked.
Recommended Route: As listed in previous reviews, the trailhead is past the tennis courts and marked with a sign along the treeline.

Summary: I previously reviewed this trail (see below). While I still feel that this trail is good for proximity to West Chester, Liberty Township, and Mason, etc, it is not as well maintained as it once was. The trail still offers a good workout and keeps the rider on their toes (albeit, it is a bit short - just ride it multiple times!) Many of the bridges are broken out as a result of wood that has decayed. The synthetic (high impact plastic) bridges are still in good repair. Root exposure is still minimal and I hope it stays that way. Riders can help prevent root exposure by not riding in muddy conditions. The directional signs seem to be placed differently every time I go here. This is probably the result of pranksters and declining trail maintenance. Cyclists, please stay off of trails that you know are for hikers only!! I do not want to lose the privelage of using this trail.
Recommended Route: See below

Summary: For a local trail this was a good find for me. It is just technical enough to keep you on your toes. Some good singletrack here. A few good short climbs that will get the heart going and push the anaerobic aspect of this ride. PLEASE respect the rules and do not ride on the hiking trails. The West Chester Park Board will make this trail unavailable to cyclist if the rules are not respected. The owner of West Chester Cyclery does a good job in helping to maintain this trail. This trail is much better than Landen park
Recommended Route: Start about 200 yard behind the tennis courts. There is a sign there showing the beginning of the trail. Rules are posted
Other recommended trails in the same area: Tower Park, Caesars Creek, Hueston Woods

Summary: I'm very happy to have found this trail. My limited schedule often times does not allow me to take the time to drive to Ceasars or East Fork, so it's nice to find something where I can take just an hour and ride.
Recommended Route: ??????????
