COUNTY TRAIL PROFILES

LWPP EXTENSION
COMING SOON!

The Luther Warren Peace Path (LWPP) Extension is currently under construction and will continue the LWPP from the current terminus at Nelson Road approximately 3.5 miles to the west and will terminate at Ogden Road (near the intersection with Beechgrove Road). The trail is currently under construction with an anticipated opening summer 2022!

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 Trail

Dedicated in 2005, this a 1.3 mile paved surface trail and will be open to the public July 31, 2005, at 2 p.m. 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 and drinking water available. 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.

Lowe's Drive Path

Opened 2004, this 0.7 mile asphalt connector path, this trail connects Rombach Avenue (near J. Denver Williams Park) with Prairie Avenue. The City plans a future paved surface trail winding through J. Denver Williams Park to connect the Lowe’s Drive Path with the 4-C Bicentennial Trail. No services are available on the Lowe’s Drive Path, but water, parking and restrooms are available in J. Denver Williams Park, which is .1 mile from the intersection of Lowe’s Drive and Rombach Avenue. Enter J. Denver Williams Park from Rombach Avenue (on the north) or Fife Avenue (on the south).

Judy Gano Trail

This 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 Trail

Constructed 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).
