Phase 3 construction has began! This segment will pave the old “coal ash” portion between SR 73 and Bonham Rd. It will also create a new path from Peffer Park up to Talawanda High School.

This week construction began on two portions of the Oxford Area Trails System that pass through the Miami University Natural Areas: paving of the "Coal Ash Section" from Bonham Rd, past the bird blind and Dewitt Cabin, to Hwy 73, and the new section from Peffer Park to the High School. For your safety, we ask that you avoid those trails during the construction activities.
