The Stillwater River Bikeway winds through Dayton's northern suburbs, following the tree-lined eastern shore of its namesake waterway for much of the way. Two disconnected segments of trail are currently open, providing runners, skaters and cyclists with serene and diverse terrain.
The shorter Northern Segment begins in the north at Englewood MetroPark, which offers a swamp forest for exploration. Winding south from the park, the trail passes under US 40 and Interstate 70 before ending at Grossnickle Park.
The longer Central Segment's northern end begins in Harrison Township at Sinclair Park, a pleasant place to picnic and play outdoors in a natural, wooded setting. From the park, the trail heads east, crossing the river before turning south to enter
Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark, the City of Dayton's Deweese and Triangle parks, then onto Island MetroPark where the trail converges with the Great Miami River Trail.
