Dedication of the Maud Hughes Incline

Maud Hughes Road (north of Princeton Road)

The Maud Hughes Incline derives its name from the unique use of three sets of double stairs with bicycle gutters to transition from the upper Michael A. Fox Highway level to the lower Maud Hughes Road level.

Phase IV of the Liberty Township Trials Initiative, the Maud Hughes Incline is a 3,210 foot section of hike and bike trail from approximately 2,000 feet east of the Wetland Park, adjacent to the Michael A. Fox Highway on the south side, north of Hamilton-Mason Road, and proceeds along land being donated to the Liberty Township Park Department from the Butler County Transportation Improvement District. Near the end of donated land, the trail will ease into the right-of-way area of the Michael A. Fox Highway. It proceeds eastward to the area near the Maud Hughes Bridge Overpass where the trail will be angled northeast to cut under the overpass and proceed to Maud Hughes Road parking area where Phase IV will terminate. Welsh Development donated approximately 5 acres of land on the north side of the Michael A. Fox Highway to connect Maud Hughes Road to the TID parcel.

Work began in July 2002 and Phase IV—Maud Hughes Incline of the Liberty Township Trails was dedicated in October 2003. This $300,000 project was funded by a $217,600 grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation Enhancement Fund and matching funds from Liberty Township
