Lebanon Countryside Trail
The Lebanon Countryside Trail is a rail trail in Ohio.
Largely used as a bicycle trail, it links the city of Lebanon, Ohio to the Little Miami Scenic Trail at Middletown Junction as well as to the Mason Lebanon Bike Connector as part of the Miami-2-Miami trail system. The trail currently extends from Miller Road at the northern most point to the Little Miami Scenic Trail at the Southernmost point.
The trail as of November 2023 is 10.2 miles (16.4 km) long. The trail opened in late 2005 and has been modified/extended multiple times in recent years (2019, 2021, 2022), and will be further modified in 2024 and 2025. In addition to the main trail, a direct connection to the Premier Health Mountain Bike Park exists to cross SR48. Current planned improvements include connecting the trail directly to downtown, improving the shared use path on N. Broadway, and completing a loop around Lebanon OH through Bowman Park.
The trail's main parking lot in Lebanon is at the station of the Cincinnati Railway Company, which operates an excursion train, and is near the Golden Lamb Inn. Going south, the trail follows a series of parks and runs adjacent to SR 48 by the Warren County Government Offices. The trail then crosses Deerfield Road and follows a shared-use path parallel to Deerfield Road to the Countryside YMCA. From there, the trail runs behind neighborhoods and often adjacent to high power lines before merging with a dedicated multi-use path adjacent to Kingsview Drive. This section includes a steep hill. At the bottom of the hill, the path continues adjacent to Kingsview Drive in an industrial park. The multi-use path reaches a fork (near mile marker 1.5) where it continues straight to the Lebanon-Mason connector or left to connect to the Little-Miami trail, just south of South Lebanon.
The alignment of the southernmost portion of the trail runs over the former Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad right-of-way, including the old railroad bridge.
The new section follows sharrows on South Street, Sycamore Street, Silver Street, and Water Street (bypassing downtown) before turning abruptly onto a multi-use trail behind Berry Intermediate School. The trail continues past the new Lebanon Fire Station and turns left onto a dedicated two-way bike lane adjacent to SR48 until Miller Road.
In 2022, the trail was extended from Countryside YMCA south to the bridge at E Turtlecreek Union Road where it now connects both to the housing development north (providing a path across SR48) as well as the Premier Bike Park.
In 2025, the trail will extend East from SR48 using the Multi-use Trail on Monroe Road, across 42, and adjacent to SR48, crossing SR123, and terminating at the current bike trail by the Harmon Disc Golf Course.
