Beginner Friendly Ohio Gravel Routes
Gravel route options for beginners who may want to try out gravel riding.
Route notes: The Homer route is relatively flat with over 50% gravel roads. The Shauck Back route adds some miles and more elevation. The lower loop can be cutoff to make it a 26 mile route. The OGG Centerburg 42 is also a relatively flat route with a rail-trail running through the center of the route for bail out points. After you have some miles under your belt try out Scioto Trail State Park. There are a lot of low traffic gravel roads in the park but be prepared to climb. Scioto Trail SP does have the most flexibility for mileage since loops can be added based on how much of a challenge you are looking for.
