Creekside and Mad River Bikeways :: Eastwood MetroPark
1385 Harshman Road, Dayton - GET DIRECTIONS TO THIS LOCATION
Parking: Yes Restrooms: Yes, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Drinking water: Yes

CyclingThe Mad River Bikeway is relatively flat, making it a great trail for families or beginner cyclists. Ride west to visit RiverScape MetroPark, home to summer festivals and concerts. Eastwood MetroPark's lakes and the nearby Mad River make this bikeway a great place to spot waterfowl, beavers—or even Eastwood’s famous resident bald eagles. When it comes to amenities, this park is all wet—literally! There’s a 185-acre lake, the smaller Blue Lake and picturesque lagoon, making Eastwood MetroPark a popular place for birders, anglers, boaters and paddle sport enthusiasts. Be sure to visit this park October 4-5 for the Midwest Outdoor Experience outdoor recreation festival.
