The Licking River Greenway and Trails (LRGT) is an ambitious effort to build an interconnected urban trail through the Licking River corridor, connecting the cities of Covington, Taylor Mill, Wilder and Newport, Kentucky. In its completion the trail system will span 12-14 miles.
Trail access can be found behind Holmes High School at the corner of Levassor and Eastern Ave. Additional locations to access the trail include the dead end of E. 16th Street, Clayton-Meyer Park and behind Randolph Park. Covington's trail includes 1.5 miles of nature trail, .75 miles of paved trails, and approximately 2.5 miles of trail utilizing sidewalk and road infrastructure.
Covington was the first city to begin implementation of the trail. The Licking River Greeway and Trail broke ground in Covington in 2010 and to date has grown to a more than five mile multi-modal structure connecting the neighborhoods of Latonia, Wallace Woods, Austinburg, Eastside, and Historic Licking Riverside.
The LRGT features a series of 17 murals celebrating the Licking River, its ecosystems, and the people who enjoy its beauty. Learn more about each mural.
