Meandering along the peaceful creek and the shade of the trees, you can barely recognize your urban and suburban surroundings! (Click on the picture for larger detail.) The trail passes by two wetland areas, providing an extraordinary view of rare plants and animals. One of these is the Creekside Reserve, which begins at Factory Road and runs along the south side of the trail to near Fairfield Road. Utilizing the 140’ bridge over Shawnee Creek at the James Ranch, you can commute to:
The trail then continues into Montgomery County, Dayton and Kettering. Five Rivers Metroparks manages the Creekside Trail from the Greene County line to Eastwood MetroPark, which will connect you with the Mad River Bikeway and the Great Miami River Corridor Bikeway. LITTLE MIAMI SCENIC TRAILGreene County manages 15 miles of this 70 mile trail, which extends from Milford to Springfield. From Xenia Station, the county manages 3 miles south to Hedges Road, and 12 miles north to Jackson Road in Clark County. Portions of the trail parallel the Little Miami State and National Scenic River and winds serenely through the beautiful countryside of Greene County. Xenia and the unique village of Yellow Springs provide numerous opportunities for food, shopping, lodging and equipment rental and sales.
The building now provides restrooms, vending machines, drinking water, bicycle lockers, classrooms, parking for motor vehicles, local area information and railroad exhibits, and is operated by the City of Xenia. Yellow Springs also has a replicated depot that provides some of the same amenities, which is operated by the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce.

FAIRBORN'S WRIGHT BROTHERS' HUFFMAN PRAIRIE BIKEWAYFairborn's Wright Brothers Huffman Prairie Bikeway is a 12’ wide urban trail linking downtown Fairborn with the Wright Brothers Memorial, a unique part of the Wright Brothers National Historic Park, and was one of the many highlights of the Inventing Flight Celebration in 2003.
The Fairborn section of the Fairborn's Wright Brothers Huffman Prairie Bikeway is concrete and the remaining portion is asphalt. Future plans call for extending the trail across S. R. 444 to Huffman Prairie Flying Field, another segment of the National Park; and to Huffman Reserve. This link will eventually connect this trail to the system of trails in Montgomery County.

During
construction, Creekside Trail was known as the “H-Connector” project. The
new name was created because the trail follows Shawnee Creek from the
Xenia area and the Little Beaver Creeks in Beavercreek.
