The Terrell River Trail is an easy out-and-back hike in southwest Ohio, about half a mile from the town of Milford. It's a short walk, with the high point at 519 feet and the low at 500 feet, so the elevation gain is nearly flat. The steepest part comes about a third of the way in, with a 7% grade, but it's brief and manageable. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Milford show May highs around 76°F and September highs near 79°F, while July averages about 87°F and January highs sit around 39°F. Several other routes lie close by. The Inner Loop is just 0.1 mile away, and the Buckeye Trail (Loveland) and Buckeye Trail (Williamsburg) are both within about a quarter mile. The Milford Urban Trail System is roughly 0.7 mile from the trail.
