Defiance Section Description:
The southern half of this section is all on-road. It follows county roads with light traffic. The trail then enters the city of Defiance where it follows sidewalk along tree-lined streets, crosses the Maumee River, and turns east through Pontiac Park, where there is a monument to Johnny Appleseed. The trail continues on-road to and through Independence Dam State Park, past the old canal locks. It follows along the Miami and Erie Canal on the towpath most of the way through Napoleon and on past Providence to Waterville.
