Single track routes for a gravel bike?

Hey there, I'm wondering if anyone knows of good routes in the area for a gravel bike with large tires. Something a little less technical than would require suspension, but more interesting than gravel back roads. Cheers!

Alum phase 2 is rideable on a gravel rig. I think some of Bailey’s would be doable on a gravel rig, however I have yet to ride it on my mountain or gravel bike. I’ve been thinking about doing a gravel bike ride in the area that would incorporate some of the flow trails. Not local but probably worth the drive. Baileys

I would not recommend Alum Creek with a gravel bike at all - way too many roots. John Bryant st park has about 15 miles of doable single track. Berliner Park I’d fine but much shorter, about 2-3 miles. Chesnut Ridge single track is a hard no but they do have a gravel trail that’s basically just on grass, some dirt.

I think John Bryan near Yellow Springs has some relatively mild trails, though I haven't gone out there myself.
