COUNTY TRAIL PROFILES
Elizabeth J Looney Trail
The Ogden Trail, or Elizabeth J Looney Trail, is a 3.5 mile trail traveling through woodlands and farm fields and ending at Ogden Road. This trail has four bridges that cross Todd's Fork as the creek winds back-and-forth across the trail corridor. Our next phase will be to extend the trail from Ogden to Clarksville.

Luther Warren Peace Path (LWPP)Dedicated in 1999, this 1.2 mile, level paved surface trail with trail heads on Mulberry Street and Nelson Avenue. In addition to the trail heads, the public may access the trail via a connector bridge leading to the campus of Clinton Memorial Regional Hospital. Drinking water is not available on the Luther Warren Peace Path. Most of the Peace Path is shaded for comfort in the summer and the snow is removed in the winter making the trail a year round favorite with walkers and runners.

4-C Bicentennial TrailDedicated in 2005, this a 1.3 mile paved surface trail. The trail was designed and built to celebrate Ohio’s bicentennial of statehood. The “4 Cs” without whom the trail would not be possible are the City of Wilmington, the Clinton County Board of Commissioners and Wilmington College. Trail heads are located on Fife Avenue (across the street from David Williams Park parking lot) and in the Southeast Neighborhood park (access from Paris Avenue and Marilena Dr). Both trail heads have paved parking. The 4-C Bicentennial Trail has more variation in grade than the Luther Warren Peace Path. The trail also features a four foot wide grassy berm for horseback riding. Snow will not be removed from this trail to allow cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or other non-motorized winter sports.

Judy Gano TrailThis trail was opened in 2008 and is named after community activist and attorney Judy Gano. This trail connects the 4-C Bicentennial Trail with the sidewalk on Rombach Avenue, providing an important link to the Lowes Drive Trail and a future Citywide trails system. Note the Indian Trails marker near the Castle Playground parking area, an Eagle Scout project of Cody Clifton.

Clinton-Fayette Friendship TrailConstructed from 2015-2016, the trail runs for just over 7 miles from Melvin Road in Clinton County, through Sabina and onto Borum Road at the Clinton/Fayette County line. (The section from Melvin Road to Reeseville (SR72) is currently gravel).
Future plans for this trail are to connect it to Washington Court House to the east and Wilmington to the west. The entirety of the project is called the Clinton-Fayette Friendship Trail (CFFT).
