Simon Kenton Pathfinders
PO Box 91
Urbana, OH 43078
The Simon Kenton Pathfinders is an all-volunteer
organization whose mission is to create and help
maintain a shared-use trail in Champaign County. We
have at present 350 members who participate in this
project, by providing financial support, attending
community meetings and events, and helping to do the
physical work related to maintaining the trail.
Phase 1 between
Woodburn Road and State Route 55 was dedicated July 1,
2001. Phase 2, Woodburn Road south to Critter Court in
Clark County (Eagle City Road), was dedicated September
27, 2003. Phase 3, State Route 55 north under a tunnel
to Community Drive by the YMCA. was dedicated October
17, 2004. Part of Phase 3 was the installation of a box
culvert under State Route 55, providing a safe
separation of bikes and people from the high traveled
highway. Phase 3 has two sections on the street. From
the old rail bed at Dellinger and East Lawn you travel
south on East Lawn Street to Children's Home Road into
Melvin Miller Park, just east of Sara Court. The trail
continues south and east behind the swimming pool and
the tennis court. The Simon Kenton Trail in Champaign
County is now 11 miles long. The Simon Kenton Trail
connections Champaign County to the existing 90 mile
trail to Cincinnati, Ohio.
We look forward to
working with you in the future. Our meetings are the
first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Urbana
Station, 644 Miami Street. These meetings are short,
interesting and informational. Many of our best ideas
have come from brand new members, so please feel welcome
to get involved and keep our community healthy.
