Support the trails that connect us

Your Giving Tuesday gift strengthens our region’s trail network.
It’s Giving Tuesday, a day when people across the country support the work that strengthens their communities. At Tri-State Trails, that means building a region where everyone can walk, bike, and explore safely. Every day, more residents are discovering the freedom, joy, and opportunity that safe, accessible trails create. And because of supporters like you, Tri-State Trails continues to lead the movement toward a more connected, active, and vibrant Tri-State region.
This year, we made meaningful strides together. Through collaborative planning, strong partnerships, and community leadership, we advanced projects that are transforming how people move throughout the region.
But our work is far from finished. As demand for trails grows and more communities look to Tri-State Trails for leadership, your Giving Tuesday gift ensures we can continue to meet the moment.
With your support, in 2026 we will:
- Coordinate the implementation of the CROWN 34-mile trail loop. Only half a mile in Mariemont is left to fully fund Phase 1 of our CROWN Capital Campaign. Our public-private partnership is already deep into planning for Phase 2, which will connect through Uptown, along the Mill Creek, and across the western Ohio Riverfront.
- Lead the implementation of the Mill Creek Triangle Trail – a planned 40-mile network in central and northern Hamilton County. This fall, all twelve communities that this proposed trail traverses through adopted our feasibility study.
- Plan a braided paved and natural surface trail network across Northern Kentucky, in partnership with the Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance.
- Host Pop-Up Bike Shops to equip residents of underserved neighborhoods with safe bikes and gear.
- Organize welcoming events like the Tour de CROWN and Breakfast on the Bridge, to grow our community of advocates.
Your generosity today truly makes an impact. Thank you for believing in the power of connection.
