Oak Savannah Trail

Oak Savannah Trail 1

 

This paved multi-use path starts at Oak Ridge Prairie County Park in Griffith.  Bicyclists find this 9.5 mile trail. a favorite place to bike, because it is generally flat and  has over and underpasses for the major highways.

The trail is surrounded by mature oak trees, making for a beautiful fall bike ride.

If you are ready for an even longer bike ride, the trail connects to the Prairie Duneland Trail and the Erie Lackawanna
