Their website provides locations and status for the over 120 miles of multi-use trails they maintain. Alternatively, Tri-State Trails offers a "find a trail" map where you can filter by paved or unpaved, multi-use, or dedicated trails for hiking or mountain biking. Another amazing resource is Cincitucky Trails who promotes America's largest urban trail network (hint, it's here). This collective task force is uniting businesses, nonprofits, leaders, and government to grow and link the regions trail system. No matter where you are in Cincy, you are within range of a trail.
