Discover the heartland of Ohio as you bike through farmlands, urban centers, and tour the Amish countryside.
Running from the Ohio River in Cincinnati to the shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland, the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) cuts diagonally across the state and through several topographic zones. The trail system is a varied and challenging mix of relaxing bike trail, rolling rural roads, vibrant cities, and green forests.
While the OTET is primarily paved and 90% off-road on dedicated trails, there are two on-road segments which require biking with traffic at speed. The trail is best for cyclists comfortable with biking on-road and on mixed surfaces. The OTET is not flat and has several climbs – and descents – as it traverses the state.
The Ohio to Erie Trail passes through three major cities – Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland – and travels from a major U.S. waterway to one of the Great Lakes. Biking the trail offers a look in at the small town character and Amish heritage of central Ohio. Much of the OTET also forms part of the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route.
Our Ohio to Erie Trail itineraries are designed to give you the best touring experience along a route with varied terrain and accommodations. Riders can start their trip in Cincinnati or Cleveland and shuttle at the beginning or end of their journey.
