About Wolf Creek Bikeway

The Wolf Creek Trail begins where Wolf Creek intersects the Great Miami River near downtown Dayton. Heading northwest, the trail follows along the creek, one of five waterways that give Five Rivers MetroParks its name.

The central segment winds its way through historic west Dayton past Adventure Central at Wesleyan MetroPark and ends at Little Richmond Road.

The northwestern segment of the Wolf Creek Trail follows an abandoned railroad route. This portion is relatively flat for most of its length, and it passes alongside Sycamore State Park. Here, you’ll find a variety of activities found in most Ohio state parks: hiking trails, ponds, prairies, and plenty of picnic areas. The park is notable for its preservation of prairies and open fields filled with native grasses and wildflowers. Heading further northwestward, the trail winds through rolling farm fields on its way to Brookville and past Golden Gate Park. From here, the trail heads to the very northwest, rural corner of Montgomery County ending in the Village of Verona.

Restrooms at parks along the bikeway.
