The Creekside Trail (trail 2) is a paved and smooth trail that connects Xenia and Dayton. The trail is in good condition and is easy to navigate. There is a great rest stop in Beavercreek with restrooms and cold water. The Creekside Trail ends in Eastwood Lake Metropark where you need to get onto the Mad River Recreation Trail (trail 8) to continue into Dayton. Traveling west was no problem but I remember being lost here another time when we were going east. The trail heads are on the south side of the lagoon. To get the Creekside Trail you need to under a stone arch and go out to road and cross diagonally to get on the trail going east to Xenia.
