Miamisburg, also known as the Star City, sits along the Great Miami River. Lore about how it became known as the Star City centers around a meeting between a minister, Miami Indian Chief and a medicine man. As the three sat around the campfire discussing what this place should be named, stories say after looking up at the stars in the night sky, the medicine man proclaimed that it would be called the Star City. Whether or not that is true is debated, but the Star City name is a common sight around downtown.

Whether you ride for sport, fun, exercise, or all of the above, Miamisburg has direct access to the extensive network of bike trails. The Great Miami River Trail passes right through the heart of downtown Miamisburg along the Great Miami River. The trail passes museums, monuments, picnic areas, restaurants, acres of natural terrain, and is just 12.4 miles from Downtown Dayton. Miamisburg is also a great stopping point on the trail. Bicyclists can grab an ice cream cone at an ice cream shop, or enjoy a glass of iced tea at one of the area restaurants. Best of all, it’s fun! So get on your bike and explore!
