St Marys Section

St Marys Section Description:

This section follows the old Miami-Erie Canal for just about its entire length. The canal was built in the 1830's between the Ohio River and Lake Erie. You will walk past many of the original locks as you start the section just north of Piqua at SR 66 and Hardin Rd. You continue north both on and off road to reach Lockington. Most of the walk will be along the original towpath, though some road walking is used where the towpath is gone. The trail passes through the old canal towns of Fort Loramie, Minster, New Bremen and St. Marys before ending in the village of Kossuth.
