The Lake Erie and Mad River Railroad, initially considered a company for a close relationship with the Little Miami, was absorbed into the competing New York Central system.

This unusually linear state park passes through four counties, with a right-of-way running about 50 miles (80 km) long and averaging 66 feet (20 m) in width [7] for a total of about 400 acres (160 ha).

The line continued two miles southeast, crossing the Little Miami River on a 365-foot truss bridge, into Hamilton Township where it terminated on the Little Miami Railroad at Middletown Junction, between Kings Mills and South Lebanon. The route was very level, having a maximum grade of 0.46 percent.
The multi-use path reaches a fork (near mile marker 1.5) where it continues straight to the Lebanon-Mason connector or left to connect to the Little-Miami trail, just south of South Lebanon. The alignment of the southernmost portion of the trail runs over the former Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad right-of-way, including the old railroad bridge.
