These trails are now multiple use, meaning they will be open to hikers and bikers. These trails total 12.4 miles. The remainder of Adena Trace, including Glidewell, Templeton Creek, Wildlife Wander, and Wolf Creek trails, will remain single use, open only to hikers and closed to bikers. The new multiple-use parts of Adena Trace have undergone extensive maintenance to prepare for the extra traffic.
