The Twin Valley Trail is marked with an icon of a hiker. Follow the hiker icon on wooden posts. Pay attention at intersections to ensure you are taking the correct path. Grab a map at the start to help you stay on the route. There will be additional signs for this event to help keep you on the correct trails.
Expect a variety of terrain, including steep hills, open meadows, wooded footpaths and mud. The TVT Connector Trail includes some road walking and paved bike trail walking.
Participants can navigate the Twin Valley Trail (TVT) on the Five Rivers MetroParks mobile app powered by OuterSpatial.

Participate in the Twin Valley Trail Challenge June 4th!

May 26, 2022 By Dayton937

Five Rivers MetroParks will host the Twin Valley Trail Challenge on Saturday, June 4. Participants in this free, noncompetitive event choose their own adventure by hiking any distance from 1 to 28.7 miles, following marked routes on the Twin Valley Trail (TVT), located in and connecting Germantown and Twin Creek MetroParks — one of the region’s most remote and pristine natural areas. The TVT Challenge is suitable for hikers of all ages and skill levels.

“We encourage hikers to make a personal goal rather than competing against other hikers to complete all 28.7 miles,” said MetroParks’ outdoor recreation coordinator and backpacking expert, Angie Sheldon. “No matter what your goal is, we’ll be there to support you with water and snack stations and shuttles in case hikers have met their limit for the day and want to head back without completing a loop.”

Day-of registration is open from 5:30 am to noon at the Twin Valley Welcome Center in Germantown MetroPark, 6910 Boomershine Rd. Those who plan to hike the full day on the trail will need to start no later than 7 am and bring a headlamp or flashlight for hiking during the early morning and evening hours.

At check in, participants will receive a trail map and other helpful info, including route options. Participants also are encouraged to download MetroParks’ free mobile app, powered by OuterSpatial, to access maps, locate amenities and more at metroparks.org/mobile.

 

Free camping at Germantown MetroPark is available on Friday and Saturday nights. Participants also can join fellow hikers for a post-challenge cookout on Saturday.

The TVT Challenge is presented by local hiking and outdoor advocacy group Dayton Hikers.

“The TVT Challenge is an opportunity for people to challenge themselves, and it’s a great event for all ages and experience levels,” said Dayton Hikers founder and avid local hiker Andy Niekamp. You can participate solo, as a group or with your family.”

The first 30 participants who arrive wearing a Dayton Hikers shirt will get priority parking closest to the registration and start and finish area.

The natural-surface Twin Valley Trail includes steep hills, open meadows and footpaths with varying terrain. Located just a 30-minute drive from downtown Dayton, the TVT is one of the longest hiking loops in the region, making it a resource for those who wish to train for longer excursions in addition to offering shorter routes for those who enjoy hiking in a remote wilderness area.

Other long trails that come through MetroParks include the 1,444-mile Buckeye Trail, which loops the entire state of Ohio, and the North Country National Scenic Trail, which stretches more than 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota.

New trails open at Germantown MetroPark

October 20, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

Germantown MetroPark’s extensive hiking system has become even more robust with the opening of new trails. The easy-to-trek, natural surface trails allow the public to experience a successful conservation project: the transformation of former farmland into a pollinator prairie and wetland, part of Five Rivers MetroParks’ mission to protect the region’s natural heritage.

A number of trails have been improved or expanded in recent years as part of MetroParks’ strategic trail initiative, another conservation effort that improves habitat and decreases erosion. However, the trails at Germantown are the first new ones in a MetroPark in several years.

 

Two new trails and a new extension of an existing trail are now open: The 2-mile purple trail loop and the 0.7-mile brown loop are new, along with a new, 2.3-mile section of the park’s orange trail. This new extension increases the orange trail to 9.3 miles, making it Germantown MetroPark’s longest and most challenging trail. The extension of the orange trail, part of the Twin Valley Trail, also increases the mileage of this backpacking trek to nearly 30 miles.

 

All the new trails can be accessed from the sled hill/Twin Valley Trail parking lot, 6206 Boomershine Rd., and at a new gravel lot a little further south down the street. The new trails are suitable for beginners and seasoned hikers alike and are part of MetroParks’ new Heart Healthy Trails initiative. Trails can be viewed and navigated in MetroParks’ new mobile app, powered by OuterSpatial.

 

The trails traverse through several habitats, allowing hikers to experience Montgomery County’s rich biodiversity. Indeed, the opening of the trails is the culmination of a years-long conservation project.

 

Five Rivers MetroParks acquired the land on which the new trails were built with a grant from the Clean Ohio Fundin 2015. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service also helped fund this conservation project since protecting the dwindling monarch population is one of its priorities.

The 107-acre site was primarily farmland at that time, along with some woodlands. Since then, MetroParks staff and volunteers have transformed this greenspace with the goal of creating a special natural area for birds, bees and butterflies — particularly monarchs.

 

Efforts to create this greenspace include:

  • In 2015, native seeds from MetroParks’ prairie seed nursery, also located at Germantown MetroPark and managed by Five Rivers MetroParks, were planted. The seeds of native plants attractive to pollinators — such as milkweed, the only plant on which monarchs lay their eggs — were used. By 2018, the pollinator prairie already was in full bloom and buzzing with such insects and birds as red tail hawks, locusts, Carolina wrens, field and song sparrows — and lots of monarchs. Other wildlife have been spotted, including rabbits, deer, coyotes and fox. All this indicates the area has a healthy ecosystem.
    • In 2018, MetroParks staff began constructing a new wetland, using a series of levees to back up water.  The wetland complements the prairie’s wildlife array by creating habitat for such species as dragonflies and a variety of frogs.
  • In 2019, MetroParks trail specialists Mark Allen and Michael Cooper, with help from numerous volunteers, led the construction of the new trails — which is no easy task. Ecological protection, physical management and community needs must be balanced. That includes:
  • Assessing the site, which includes examining topography and boundaries
    • Conducting plant surveys for a year to inventory species and ensure new trails won’t damage rare plants
    • Mapping the final trail — then starting the physical work of building it

“The public values trails as one of the most used and appreciated amenities of a park system,” regional park manager Mike Osborne said. “Most of the hard work of designing a sustainable trail is done before the shovels hit the ground. But the effort up front results in greatly improved eco-health, a decrease in maintenance costs and staff time, and with increased patron use and satisfaction.

 

“The new trail at Germantown MetroPark has been designed to protect special natural areas and inspire a personal connection with nature for generations to come,” Osborne added. “It’s also a great place for people to learn about biodiversity, as several habitats can be viewed in a compact area with an easily accessible trail.”

 

During the past 30 years, Five Rivers MetroParks staff and volunteers have planted and restored nearly 1,000 acres of prairie — the equivalent of almost 760 football fields. According to the National Park Service, the prairies of North America once covered 200 million acres and supported myriad wildlife, but less than 1% of this native habitat remains. That makes prairie restoration critical to protecting the environment since prairies benefit the soil and provide habitat for native wildlife, especially such pollinators as butterflies and birds. Pollinators are required for 85 percent of the world’s flowering plants to reproduce, and one-third of humans’ food is produced with the help of pollinators.

 

“In general, all pollinators are in trouble — and they’re all necessary for our natural areas and agricultural production,” said Grace Dietsch, Five Rivers MetroParks wildlife biologist. “Germantown MetroPark is a large natural area close to the Upper Twin Valley Conservation Area. In this larger, more stable natural area, we have an opportunity to enjoy great success.”

MetroParks introduces Heart Healthy Trails initiative

October 6, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

Five Rivers MetroParks has launched a Heart Healthy Trails initiative to help people improve their physical and mental health outdoors. Three existing trails recently were designated as Heart Healthy Trails, with plans to launch an additional two trails in upcoming months.

According to the American Heart Association, just 30 to 40 minutes of exercise a few times a week will improve heart health. Additionally, exercising outdoors provides benefits traditional gym workouts do not, including a reduction of depression and stress, an increase in vitamin D and more.

Heart Healthy Trails make it easier for people to exercise outdoors because they’re:

  • Easy to moderate
  • 1 to 2.5 miles long
  • Walkable at a brisk pace
  • Marked every quarter mile to help users track their pace

 

“These are easy, entry-level trails on paved or flat surfaces without a lot of elevation change,” said Angie Sheldon, MetroParks outdoor recreation coordinator. “Signage on the trails also helps people start walking outdoors as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. Each trail is a little different, depending on the location and length, so people can try them all or pick a favorite.”

 

The American Heart Association recommends walking at a brisk pace, working toward walking at least 2.5 miles per hour or 24 minutes per mile.

MetroParks’ Heart Healthy Trails are:

  • Wolf Creek Trail (start at Olde Town Depot, intersection of Wolf Creek Pike/Main Street and Broadway, Trotwood): This paved recreation trail is marked every quarter mile, so users know when to turn around to get the distance they desire. The trail is marked for a 2-mile (1-mile out and back walk). Those who wish to continue along the trail can visit Sycamore State Park.
  • Island MetroPark (101 E. Helena St., Dayton): This trail is a paved 0.65-mile loop around the perimeter of the park. Trail users will enjoy landscaped beds, views of the Stillwater River and “Ashzilla,” one of the biggest trees in MetroParks. Located near the parking lot, “Ashzilla,” is a large white ash tree. Walk the loop two or three times to get the recommended 30 minutes of exercise.
  • Germantown MetroPark (6206 Boomershine Rd., Germantown): Users will trek/walk new natural surface trails at the park. The Heart Healthy Trail includes portions of the purple, brown and orange trail loops, totaling 1.7 miles. Trail users can connect to Germantown MetroPark’s extensive trail system via the orange trial.

 

The Heart Healthy Trails are featured in MetroParks’ mobile app, powered by OuterSpatial, allowing trailgoers to easily navigate the trails, locate amenities and more. Download the app at www.metroparks.org/mobile.

Winter Walks! Dayton’s Best

January 22, 2016 By Shana Lloyd

Winter blues? Nah! Winter fun!

Screen Shot 2016-01-22 at 2.24.15 PMHey Guys! Remember me? Found Dayton, left Dayton, came back to Dayton, got married in Dayton now working, living and loving being back in the city, back home. There’s a little more to it than that and whole journey that brought me home but long story short I’m back writing for DaytonMostMetro only this time instead of dating adventures, I’m covering outdoor adventures and all that our great city has to offer for us nature enthusiasts.

If you’re like most of us in Ohio, the dreary months of Winter tend to bring you down, either from the gray skies or your Vitamin D deficiency you find yourself lacking enthusiasm to get up and move more than you have to. What I’ve learned over the years is that getting up and moving, despite how you feel – solves the problem.

Way before the season of New Year resolutions (December) – I made the decision that I had to make movement a regular thing in the Winter, even it made me miserable. In the Spring, Summer & Fall I absolutely love hiking and my woodland strolls, I would trade the gym and treadmill for a walk amongst the trees any day but in the Winter, well you know – you live here – it’s flipping painful to breathe some days but I realized that without the serenity that comes from my nature walks I wouldn’t make it through the long Winter months. For me, the outdoors and playing in nature is a must – year round. Luckily for me, Dayton and the surrounding region offers some of the most beautiful trails and winter landscapes.

So for those of you like me willing to brave the cold, here’s a list of my favorites places to walk the paths of Winter!

Wegerzyn Gardens – The Marie Aull Nature Trail

Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall Wegerzyn Gardens is one of my favorite places to find calm and serenity! It’s gardens are something out of a fairytale and landscape brings instant zen. The Marie Aull Nature Trail might be one of Dayton’s best kept secrets because I’m usually one of a few people walking it. If you’re looking for quiet serene place to get your daily cardio on a low traffic trail Marie Aull is your spot. Get ready to do some bird watching too!

Possum Creek

Possum Creek has over 5 miles of trails that are perfect for walking and hiking. For the nature enthusiast it’s trails are home to many furry little creatures. I love downtown, but when I am looking to get away from the city – quiet places like Possum Creek bring back the calm. The Barn and farm animals are always fun too!

Huffman Lake

What a view! Last year I was on a mission to visit all of our Metro Parks in Dayton. Huffman was early on my stops being so close to home. It was absolutely freezing the day I went and yet I walked the trails for over an hour. The winter sky is incredible from the top of dam and for all you Instagram junkies looking for the perfect shot – you may want to visit. Huffman is also one of my favorites for birdwatching and other wildlife.

Sugarcreek


Admittedly, I just discovered Sugarcreek this past Spring and it quickly became one of my favorite hikes in Dayton. The old oak trees and songbirds make my own heart sing. The wooded trails are some of the prettiest in Dayton and the prairie offers bird watching like nowhere else locally I have found. The Spring is really beautiful here, but the snow capped hills and br
anches are something you want to see.

Twin Creek

Metroparks.org describes Twin Creek as nature’s best and they’re not far off. The backcountry trail, babbling brook and wildlife quickly makes you forget that busy week you’re so desperately looking to get away from. This is one of the most peaceful nature walks that Dayton has to offer and the prettiest scenery at dusk. While you may not see many other hikers, you’re likely to run into four legged visitors on the Twin Valley Backpacking Trail.

There are so many amazing trails and miles upon miles of wooded wildlife in Dayton to experience, these are just five of my favorites. To learn more about what Five Rivers Metro Parks has to offer for the nature lover in you visit their site. In the meantime, put on a hat, scarf and some mittens and cross these five off of your list!

There are so many health benefits to getting outside, especially in the winter! The invigorating cold air can clear your mind and reduce stress.

Dayton Earns Distinction As A Trail Town

October 9, 2013 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

overviewmapFive Rivers MetroParks will celebrate with the City of Dayton, the Buckeye Trail Association and the North Country Trail Association the official designation of Dayton as “Trail Town”. The event will take place Friday, October 25, at 11:00am at Deeds Point MetroPark. The event is free and open to the public.

 

The North Country National Scenic Trail and the state-wide Buckeye Trail have partnered to improve access, strengthen interest in outdoor activities, and boost economic benefits by providing recognition to local businesses.  Together, they strive to build a community that values outdoor recreation for the health of the environment, the people, and the economy.

 

“We are so happy to have Dayton as the newest Trail Town along the North Country National Scenic Trail. Dayton is a great example of how an urban area can embrace a trail culture, providing a superb recreational resource for its citizens while benefiting it’s economy and the health of the environment,” said Andrea Ketchmark of North Country Trail Association. “This partnership will do great things for the Trail and for Dayton!”’

 

“Trail Towns” are built on a relationship between a municipality, the Trail, and its supportive volunteers.  For Dayton, the partnership will help to establish and nurture relationships that are mutually beneficial for trail users and the public-at-large within the City of Dayton and the surrounding area.

 

“We are ecstatic to be only the second city in Ohio to receive this designation,” said Dayton City Commissioner Nan Whaley. “This reinforces our ongoing efforts to make Dayton a vibrant community that realizes the importance of outdoor recreation.”

 

The Buckeye and North Country National Scenic Trails are co-aligned through the Dayton area, following the Mad River and Great Miami Recreation Trails.  The trails are marked by 2×6 inch blue blazes along the route.

 

The North Country Trail is the longest of the 11 National Scenic Trails and stretches 4,600 miles from North Dakota to New York and follows much of the Buckeye Trail as it wraps through Ohio.  Crossing seven northern states, the trail is not only a national asset, but it is accessible from many communities making it a valuable local recreational resource.

 

The Buckeye Trail is a 1,400 mile trail circumnavigating the state travelling through 48 counties.  Volunteers of the Miami Rivers Chapter of the Buckeye Trail Association help buck-creek-trail-daytonmaintain sections of these trails in the Dayton area, working closely with land managers from Five Rivers MetroParks and Miami Conservancy District.

 

“The Buckeye Trail Association is excited to partner with the community of Dayton, one of the largest and most supportive along Ohio’s State Trail,” shared Andrew Bashaw of the Buckeye Trail Association. “By working together we hope to promote this amenity to the quality of life around Dayton and encourage Dayton area residents to engage in using the Buckeye and North Country National Scenic Trail nearby and around Ohio!”

 

Working together to provide this premier off-road walking path is a partnership of trail volunteers, land managing agencies, the National Park Service, private foundations, civic organizations and businesses.
