Walking along the trail visitors discover ephemeral blooms in spring to blazing color in fall or hear the call of wild turkeys. On the western portion, discover remnants of the past along this trail, such as Tadmor, once the busiest crossroads in the country and portions of the Miami-Erie canal, which once connected the people and commerce of the Ohio River in Cincinnati with Lake Eire in Toledo. The eastern portion, walk along the banks of the Great Miami River.
