This second phase of the trail system connects to the existing coal ash path off of SR73 and travels under the highway, behind western campus at Miami University, travels under US27 and ends at Peffer Park.

​​


The total cost for this segment of trail was $2,355,155. This segment of the trail was funded in part, by a transportation alternative grant through the Ohio Kentucky Regional Council of Governments in the amount of $750,000. Miami University contributed $700,000 and the City of Oxford funded the remainder through the trail levy in the amount of $905,155.


This phase allows for contiguous, off road travel, from Kelly Dr. over to Peffer Park. A distance of just over 3.5 miles.

Trail construction began in October, 2019 with the clearing of the route. Over the winter months, 2 new bridges were constructed off site. One to cross 4 mile creek at SR 73 and another to cross the creek at Peffer Park. The completion date is October 1, 2020.


Below is an updated map of completed and future funded trail segments.
