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.

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

S. Lebanon Closure

3.5 miles between Lebanon Countryside Trail (MM 34.1) and Stubbs Mill Rd. (MM 30.6)

Beginning Monday, March 23, a section of the Little Miami Scenic Trail through South Lebanon is closed through April 1st for the South Lebanon Sewer Project.  This initial phase is for the purpose of tree removal and land preparation.

While this initial closure runs till April 1st, 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.  

Miamiville Trailhead

Miamiville Bench Crew

By Bill Brown

A generous donor, a memorial honoring a trail supporter and a trailhead needing an upgrade converged to create a wonderful opportunity for a project at the Miamiville Trailhead near mile marker 48!

The trailhead in Miamiville near the VIllage Grocery is a very popular stop on the LIttle Miami State Park trail. The combination of parking availability, grocery store, portolets and great view of the LIttle Miami River from the bridge make this one of the most traveled sections of the trail according to trial census data taken every year. The trail traffic at this trailhead often overwhelmed the seating facilities at the site. There were only two benches and one was an old wooden bench at the end of its life. Thanks to Dr. Robert Reed, the trailhead has now been upgraded with three picnic tables and a second bench.

The Buckeye Trail Association (BTA) is pleased to announce that the Village of Morrow has been designated as the 23rd Buckeye Trail Town, recognizing its commitment to supporting hikers, cyclists, and outdoor recreation along the Buckeye Trail.

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.
