Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce Joins to Celebrate Trails Day 2025

Yellow Springs is once again putting its best foot (and bike) forward for the 2025 Celebrate Trails Day on Saturday, April 26th. Known as a destination for outdoor lovers and a hub for trail enthusiasts, the village welcome all to enjoy a day dedicated to the joy of exploring the outdoors and the power of community connections.

“Rails-to-Trails is a nonprofit organization that helps oversee trail projects, transforming unused railroads into multiuse trails for pedestrians and cyclists across the country.” - Cole Oberg, Rails-to-Trails Annual Event Coordinator

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful, as Yellow Springs is home to the Midwest Regional Office of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, making it a vital player in the regional trail network. The event, hosted at the historic train station in the heart of vibrant downtown, offers a perfect opportunity to explore the local trails, discover new organizations, and experience all that Yellow Springs has to offer - from its charming shops to its nature-filled bike paths.
