Ohio Explorer

Kentucky to Niagara Falls
EASY BIKING      14 DAYS
Trip #OEX
Easy biking mostly on beautiful bike paths.

This trip starts in America's heartland, on the Ohio River in Newport, Kentucky. You will cycle from Cincinnati up across the beautiful Buckeye State, through its rolling countryside. Ohio is full of orchards, so an afternoon break might be at a farm stand for fresh fruit and local produce for that night's supper. Along the way, your group will stay at campgrounds and hostels, living simply and enjoying the fresh local foods.


You will cycle on the BikeCentennial routes, along their “Underground Railroad” trek. Leading you along new bike trails that follow old rail lines or canals, these offer easy, level stretches as well as moderate but long rises to flex those muscles!

The Lake Ontario segment brings welcome lake breezes to keep you comfortable as you ride and opportunities to swim or just enjoy a beautiful view. Your group will average 25-30 miles a day, with chances to stop for sightseeing as well. The trip ends with a day of relaxation in spectacular Niagara Falls, to celebrate your great accomplishment.
