The Friends of the Little Miami State Park (FLMSP) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to maintain and improve the 50-mile Little Miami State Park paved trail. We work closely with the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources to preserve the park’s natural river setting while creating a safe, enjoyable experience for all trail users.

FLMSP conforms to the highest industry standards applied to non-profits, making it well qualified for grant consideration and for donor confidence. The Friends volunteer their labor and skills because we love the trail and want others to enjoy it as much as we do!

Consider joining us on—or off—the trail.  We're always looking for volunteers.  You can pick up brush and litter on an Adopt-a-Trail team, share a special skill or resource in Special Ops, or help promote our work in the community and through media. Everyone is welcome; every effort helps.  The amount of time you devote is always your decision, and your work will always be sincerely appreciated. 

Trail Closure Notice

I-71 Jeremia Morrow Bridge

A long-standing slip, where the trail is slipping into the local stream, is scheduled for a much-needed crucial bank stabilization project in May and June. Work is scheduled to begin May 4th with heavy equipment blocking the trail during the week.  The trail will be CLOSED in between OH-350 and Wilmington Road.

The projected end date, weather permitting is June 12th.  There will be no safe passage on the side of the trail, the area is too small – and large equipment will be required and will be onsite operating. There is no appropriate detour in this area of the trail.  However, it is the goal of the contractor to have the trail area passable by bike for Memorial Day weekend - Saturday May 23rd and Sunday May 24th*** and the week prior- Tuesday May 19th through Monday May 25th. The trail closes again Tuesday May 26th for construction, until completion.

Beginning June 2026, a section of the Little Miami Scenic Trail through South Lebanon is closed for the South Lebanon Sewer Project.  This is a major sewer construction project being performed by the City of South Lebanon which will impact the Little Miami Scenic Trail for over a year.  While the final schedule is not yet available, construction activity in this area may continue through July 2027. Trail users should expect ongoing impacts, changing conditions, and periodic adjustments as the project progresses. We will publish updates when we have them. For current status, contact the Little Miami State Park offices at 513-897-3055.

Morrow becomes the fourth Trail Town along the Little Miami State Park! Milford, Loveland and Spring Valley are also official Buckeye Trail Towns. Located in Warren County, northwest of Cincinnati, Morrow sits directly along the Buckeye Trail, which runs concurrently with the Little Miami Scenic Trail through the center of the village. This prime location makes Morrow an inviting and accessible destination for trail users.
