The Austin Road Trailhead parking lot is at the junction of Austin Road and OH-138, 3.5 miles west of Frankfort.

From the parking lot, you can walk or bike the trail in either direction.

• The trail going northwest, to the point where it crosses Paint Creek, parallels Paint Creek for 1.2 miles.
• The trail going southeast, crossing Dexter Road, parallels Paint Creek for 1.6 miles.

Formerly known as the Adena Recreational Trail or the Triangle Trail, the renamed Paint Creek Recreational Trail is a paved, 32-mile bicycle and walking path that connects Chillicothe with Washington Court House almost entirely on the abandoned B&O Railroad corridor.
