Miami Natural Areas Trails Miami University has 9 Natural Areas Trails that span 17 miles in over 1,000 acres. Each trail is connected to the others in a variety of ways so that each time out, you can fully customize your hike. The trails are open to residents, students, visitors, and four-legged friends on a leash all year-round.
Oxford Area Trails The Oxford Area Trails (OATs) are a system of multi-use paths that will eventually fully connect and surround the City of Oxford. Currently, over 3 miles of paths exist, taking users past unique natural, scenic, and historical resources around the area.
