Tremendous trail tandem!
By ricperry in November, 2009

I had the opportunity to bike these 2 trails on a sunny cool Tuesday Nov 17th. The Peanut line is currently ~6.5 miles from Transit Rd Rt78 due east to Akron Junction where it joins in with the West Shore Trail at ~mile 8.3 (The western terminus of the WS trail is a well-sized parking lot on Wehrle Drive). The WS Trail continues for another 2.1 miles eastbound ending in Akron. The entirety of these trials is paved, with abundant standing maps along the trails to view relative location on the trials. I have been biking/running rail trails for many years now and these are two of the finest that I have had the pleasure to encounter!

A good bicycle trail
By Don Nieman in September, 2004
"This is a nice trail, with good places to eat at either end. Also, upon leaving the trail, there are a lot of riding opportunities to continue on from the trail."
Beautiful fields

"This trail is paved and has a variety of beautiful fields to view along with ever changing wild flowers. Spring through fall, the landscape changes constantly. During the winter, though, the snowmobilers take the trail over. It's not much fun then!"
Nice Trail

This is an outstanding trail. There's plenty of riding. This ranks as one of the best trails I have ever ridden.
Great trail!

Great trail! It's nicely paved and pretty in the fall. There was relatively low traffic on the weekend we were there.
Bare and beautiful
By Eric Sambolec in March, 2003
"I ran this trail a few years ago when the Peanut Line was a grass/dirt path that ran quietly through farmer's fields from Amherst to Akron. A few months later I was shocked to return to a paved trail.

This area is pretty rural and already has a paved bike path that junctions the Peanut Line. I think the additional paving is unnecessary and takes away room to roam for mountain bikers, hikers and off road runners. It is also part of the beautiful Finger Lakes Trail which consists of hundreds of miles of unpaved beauty.

Please keep it beautiful as nature intended it: unpaved."
