Friends Of The Pony Wagon Bike Trail is an all volunteer, non-profit organization working to develop, build, maintain and improve the multi-use path in St. Paris, Ohio. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. FPWBT conforms to the highest standards applied to non-profits, making it well qualified for grant considerations and donor confidence.
Our mission at Friends Of The Pony Wagon Bike Trail is to work with the community on a recreational multi-use path for bicycling and walking within St. Paris and to connect St. Paris to vast bicycle paths in Ohio and beyond. Especially Piqua to Urbana.
Our team at Friends Of The Pony Wagon Bike Trail is made up of community people within St. Paris and our rural community outside of the village. We want a safe, designated, 2.5 mile multi-use path for recreational fun, health benefits, social interaction and economic future development.
Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.
In April of 2021 some communication between people brought on discussion and ideas on how and where.
A resolution by the Village council of St. Paris was presented on March 7, 2022 to do an application for funding for land acquisition, paving and signage for a bike trail through the village of St. Paris. March 18, 2022 a proposal was sent to the Ohio General Assembly from the Village of St. Paris for 6 million dollars to have the state of Ohio fund the entire project. Through HB 687 the village was granted appropriated state money of $100,000 to begin the project. Funds to be generated and controlled through ODNR. To be used in the 2023-24/25-26 fiscal year. The village needs to appropriate money from their funds to use to make land acquisition. Then submit their bill to the ODNR to be paid back with the state appropriated funds given in HB 687.
Who did the feasibility study? Burgess & Niple conducted the study at a cost of $30,000 that was paid by Clark County Transportation Coordinating Committee in October - November 2021. Sincere thanks to this committee for their help to get this project off the ground and into the State House in Columbus. Presently working with ODNR, State Capital (100K) Improvement Grant, and the Village of St. Paris for engineering study and easements of land.
Zach and his friend Connor Super rode 121 mile loop from St. Paris to Urbana onto the Simon Kenton Trail to Xenia and then continued west to Dayton, then North through Tipp City, Troy, Piqua, continued east to Fletcher, then back to St. Paris.
They raised $1700.00 on the hottest day of June. Thank you for your dedication to show we want to be a part of the connection of a paved trail loop.
