Beautiful Bridge on a Horrible Trail!
By brandt.smith in May, 2010
First and foremost, the Bridge was great. Beautiful work. However, that trail is ridiculous. I almost wrecked on multiple occasions due to ruts in the mud/dirt. You can tell people bring their ATV's and dirt bikes on them all the time due to the ruts in the trail. Also ran into some pretty good sized rocks where if you were to hit them you would wreck for sure. Beer cans and bottles were littered all over the trail after you cross County Rd. 88. This could be such a beautiful trail. Too bad.
Bridge was a dream - but not the trail!

We rode the Mohican Valley trail from Danville to Brinkhaven. Even though it was the middle of summer, the trail was filled with mud puddles and soft spots. Not a very fun ride. Bridge of Dreams was neat. Tried to go to Brinkhaven, but trail dipped down into a HUGE puddle and we saw no way around it. Shame - be a great ride if it was maintained better.
Ohio's Longest Covered Bridge
By Greg in October, 2007
"Great views of the river from the bridge. The Trailhead is on the East side of the Mohican River off a dirt road called Hunter Road (on the south side of Rte 62); after going under the covered bridge you turn left again onto another dirt road.
The bike trail is ride-able sand. "
