Keehner Inner Loop is a short, easy loop in Keehner Park in Ohio, a city-managed park. The route is 0.54 miles long, and it rises from about 772 feet to 854 feet, with a total gain of 68 feet. The climb is back-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.45 miles, with a 10% grade. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 68°F with lows near 42°F, and May highs around 75°F. That station sits about 220 feet lower than the loop, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Bikes are allowed on this route, but horses are not. The loop makes a quick outing, and the estimated time is about half an hour. It sits close to the Keehner Walking Trail and the Mountain Bike Trail, both about 0.1 mile away. Farther out, Mill Creek offers canoeing about 6 miles away, and Winton Woods has river fishing about 9 miles away.
