Mad River Recreational Trails

Mad River Recreation Trail (2.8 miles) from Eastwood Metro Park to its end near the Dayton Career Academy in downtown Dayton and 0.5 miles from Point Park to Webster Street.

The Mad River Recreation Trail follows the Mad River’s floodplain 2.3 miles east from downtown Dayton to Eastwood MetroPark, where trail users can pick up the Creekside Trail to Xenia*. A half-mile trail, extending from Keowee Street at Point Park to Webster Street, follows the river's right bank.**

Each of these trails follow river floodplains, and sections may be impassable during periods of high water.

*An extension of this trail, from Eastwood MetroPark to Huffman MetroPark, is planned.
**The right and left banks are determined as if you are headed downstream.
