Welcome to the Miamisburg Community Park bike path! Enjoy a leisurely walk or a bike ride as you visit different characters and the Robert E. Lee Natural Bridge from The Andy Griffith Show.
Who could forget the Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show? The father, Briscoe, and his four sons who never made a sound unless they were singing and his daughter Charlene would come down out of the mountains every now and then to visit Mayberry which usually meant some kind of trouble was brewing. When in town, they enjoyed playing music with Andy.
Our favorite song that the Darlings sang is Dooley.
Fun Fact: The four Darling brothers really were an established bluegrass band by the name of The Dillards.
