This change is very pleasant. On July 9, 2020, the Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District, which manages the Miami Erie State Trail (MEST) between Spencerville and Delphos, opened a new parking facility just S of Pt 6 in the Delphos Section. The facility is named the Robert K Antibus Trail Access parking in honor of a Park District Commissioner who has served 27 years.
There is no change in distance, just an added convenience along the way if you have need of it. The points affected are shown below.
CW 6.2 N | CCW 40.3 S | Point 5 | MEST at SR 81
Continue N on MEST past the site of Lock 17 (0.1 mi). About 300’ S of Zion Church Rd, the only crossroad on this stretch of trail, pass an access trail that leads into a large, paved parking area. This parking is provided by the Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District. The area is accessible by road from that small stretch of Zion Church Rd that goes N-S just N of here.
