8-23-24-2025 Loveland pt9 to pt7

Polly had plans to finish Loveland this weekend. She invited everyone to join. Jess and Katie came and I helped with a shuttle on Saturday. I grabbed a few photos from Eden Park Overlook to share. We had lunch at the National Exemplar after and I joined for that as well. 

Sunday it was just Polly and myself. I hiked this shorter piece with her and that is these miles.

Total 5.49mi

Bt sections complete 16

Loveland, Ceasar Creek, Troy, Williamsburg, St. Marys, Delphos, West Union, Sinking Spring, Shawnee, Scioto Trail, Old Man's Cave, New Straitsville, Defiance, Pemberville, Norwalk, Medina

NCT total this year 57.92mi + 4mi = 61.92mi

Adding APT since sorta exploring this a bit now still not gonna say it's a real trail.

Sunday's miles.


The ladies at the Southern Terminus of the Buckeye Trail.


The Southern Terminus sign itself.


The overlook at Eden Park


Its such a great place to view the river.


Great marker


This bridge is the Big Mac going to Newport.


This is where we started Sunday.
The Milford Trailhead aka the Junction.


This is the bike shop at the Milford Trailhead.
Many may not realize the same shop that offers this is in milford less than 1 mile away.  That is the oldest continously operating bike shop in the US.


Bike Route signs on the OTET 

Milford services 


Nice wooded views down the path.


Oh no... this is ADT land NOT NCT Land.
Being handled.


An old train marker I think.


The squirrel mural


Another view through the trail at the mural


This is such an awesome path in a busy urban environment.


Kroger Hills by the Dr office


Another train marker


At Avoca Park- Hamilton county park


Some good signage here.


Avoca has a number of area and trails.


Many wild flowers.  These purple flowers were seen up and down the path.


More wild flowers


More good signage


This is an interesting point.
ADT/BT officially turn right to the road and crossed.
You can go through the bat mural and then go through 50 West.  Its a difference of what side of the street and where to cross that street. 


Mileage of the LMSP to some common trailheads.


Some of the history of the Little Miami Railroad 


I did not know this is also a bike way.


Well marked turn here on the street pole.


50 West.  Absolutely a must hit and part of the bar hopping experience that is Loveland.


The initial walk to the hill
The hill is the last battle on this journey - it is gentle.


ADT sign needs update


Mariemont is a Tree City USA
There are a few locally.


The library on the corner at the top of the hill.


Village of Mariemont.
This was a planned community.


Walking through Mariemont


Greaters Ice Cream.  I had to get a scoop.


The Mariemont Inn now a best western.
