recreation in Dayton As the “Outdoor Adventure Capital of the Midwest,” the Dayton region has tremendous outdoor recreation oppor- tunities, anchored by an extensive trail system. The State of Ohio allows for the creation of park districts for both pres- ervation of open space and recreation. Five Rivers MetroParks (serving Montgomery County/Dayton), Greene County Parks and Trails, and the Miami County Park District overlay the munic- ipal and county park systems to pro- vide an abundance of natural open space in the region.

Dayton’s rivers and creeks, along with abandoned rail systems, provide the linear corridors that serve as the

architecture for the open space and made many of the trails possible. From Dayton’s paved trail network— the nation’s largest— to soft surface trails to water trails, Dayton and the surround- ing area offers all tread surfaces and outdoor experiences for every taste within 15 minutes of downtown.
