I love this trail it's all flat and a good challenge on my Strava.
First time on this trail, and it was sweet. Paved, wide, and mostly flat. This is a very easy trail. Follows the river and train tracks through mostly covered woodlands. Some industrial buildings here and there. A few road crossings that had little to no traffic were acceptable. My trip was about 14 round trip. There was a couple trail heads / parking areas that I passed. I like that I can get right into down town Kent as a destination. There's always something there that you can stop to check out while your rest your legs before heading back. Including Kent Cycle. I only wish there was a trail head at both endpoints, but I'm sure this trail will eventually expand. And I can't wait.
Attempted to bike this trail today. I had read on another web site (can't remember where now) that the trail was 80% complete as of June 14 2017. I thought I would be safe to ride today.
The trail is beautifully paved from the Rte 62 underpass where it connects with the Mohican Valley Trail. The trail is not completely paved into Glenmount but is supposed to be done this year.
They have painted the trail over passes a beautiful white.
They were working in at least 4 different sections today with dump trucks going up and down the trail.
You might be able to ride this on the weekend when they're not working.
I will attempt it again in a month or so on a weekend.
Rode this trail completely for the first time. Great ride. N Marginal Rd that "Rio" complained abt was replaved in 2016. It was smooth sailing. I rode the trail from Edgewater Park to Euclid Beach. Great views of the lake. You bike pass the Rock Hall, Cleve Browns Stadium etc. The ride across the Detroit Superior Bridge was not intimidating at all.
The trail runs through a park with lots of picnic areas. It is paved, mostly flat, and a mix of shade and open areas. There is a river nearby, but you only see it at a couple spots. It is a good multipurpose park trail for locals, but it is not a destination for trail cyclists because it runs right along Valley Parkway most of the way. So you will have cars next to you. Also, you will need a trail map or GPS because there are several side trails and spurs that can lead you astray.
We just recently discovered this trail and have ridden it 4 times in the past few weeks. Only a few roads to cross with very little traffic. It is a little confusing when you get to the bridge in Kent. A few directional signs in this area would really help but overall a great trail!
We parked at Canal Fulton and rode north to Center Rd north of Clinton, then turned around and went to Lake Ave north of Massillon. 30mi round trip. Beautiful trail. Crushed stone most of the way, flat and shady. The trail got a little narrower near Massillon. Canal Fulton is a nice little town with lots of ice cream shops. It also has historic boat rides pulled by horses. Timing worked out that we got to watch one go by.
The trail is cluttered with debris, tree roots have lifted big areas of the asphalt. There was a big tree limb across a fence and trail that I had to get off my bike and walk underneath. The highway was very noisy. I probably would not return to this trail.
Freedom trail was a nice paved trail, however it crossed to many roads for our liking.
What a beautiful trail this. We rode this on the 4th of July; starting in Fredericksburg. They were having a large celebration in the park as we pulled in and parked. We rode to Millersburg and back. It was an easy trail and fun. The other riders on the trail were very pleasant and friendly! The celebration was still going on at the park! Easy to access!
I really liked the peace & quiet of this trail. Few people and the wider trail made it nice to ride.
Nice paved trail in Lorain County, Ohio. Used by bikers, runners and walkers. Majority of trail is wide. Road south to north and back. one modest climb southbound near end. Most trail users polite.
