The ramp in the lock allows users of the Great Miami River Trail to access downtown Piqua for food and potty. It also provides a connection between the Great Miami River and Ohio to Indiana Trails. The Ohio to Indiana Trail follows the abandoned Pennsy Panhandle route, including their bridge over the Great Miami River.
