From Xenia, additional trails go north to Clark County and south to Lebanon. In Montgomery County, access is to Eastwood Park and beyond.

There is a secondary trail north from Girl Scout Park to Rotary Park.

Greene County Parks Department manages the Trail, providing maintenance and patrolling. No motorized vehicles are permitted on the Trail. To host a special event along the Trail, a permit is required from Greene County Parks. To use Township or City Parks for an event, a permit is required from the Township or the City. There is no charge.

The trail is open from dawn to midnight, every day of the year. Snow is not removed from the trail during winter to allow cross-country skiers access to the facility. No motorized vehicles are permitted on the trail.
