My family and I checked out this trail for the first time yesterday. With blue sky, cool temps. and some color still on the trees, we enjoyed a great ride. With fallen leaves, running down the trail with us in the breeze, it was quite magical! We started from the trail head in Hamburg, went out about 6 miles and then back again. We found the trail that we traveled on to be in great condition, smooth, and well marked. We passed a few other bikers and walkers enjoying the trail too. Our only caution about this trail is that it is not one for young children to bike on as the drop off is quite steep in some areas and there are no fences.

Today I rode the Bartram Trail from the Hamburg trailhead to the Auburn Bridge and back. A bit cool and mostly cloudy but a great ride. I was expecting washed out areas due to all the recent rain but the trail is in excellent condition for this entire 6 mile section. A bit bumpy under the Rt. 61 bridge but that's it. Lots of areas/benches to stop and take a rest if you need it. I'm looking forward to returning with the entire family later this spring or early in the summer - it will be gorgeous. I am hoping there are plans to make the bridge at Auburn passable - this is a great ride!

We just road this section of trail on monday December 20 2010 it was 25 degrees outside and we still had a great time on this trail. It is a lovely well maintaned trail that is 6 miles long ( We started at Hamburg ) and stops at a unfinished bridge before Auburn. There is no way to get to Auburn until they finish the trail on the closed railroad bridge, you can however get to Port Clinton. Just pass the Port Clinton rail station you have to make a right onto another trail that goes down a steep hill, cross a bridge and into town. This trail is well worth the ride and with all the flowering bushes is probably lovely in the summer.
