Original 4.6 miles of the trail is nicely paved. Goes through wooded areas, runs along French Creek, and an active train. Open areas of the trail provide sunlight. Trailhead in Meadville along Route 322 across from eateries. They are working on adding onto the trail at each end. From 4.6 at Krider Road to 6.1 at Bailey Road is rough gravel. Use with caution.
This is a great trail for running or walking (maybe not biking until they extend it...would be a quick bike ride). Parking lot is small, but it was not busy on a Tuesday morning in May (use address 3700 Trout Island Road; Sharpsville, PA, to get to the lot). The only downside to the trail was that there were huge swarms of gnats the entire time I was running, which was annoying. Perhaps that would only be at certain times of the day or year, though.
Last weekend in October we biked from Orwell up to Rock Creek. Pretty fall foliage. Nice and flat asphalt paved trail.
Nice cool overcast day to ride. Thought we would give the trail a try. It's nice and if you do it twice you get a little over 25 miles. I did find that at times it was better to get off the trail and ride the rode, but still a very nice ride.
Could be marked a lot better. I have done this trail many times, both alone and with a group. We usually start at the Tom Ridge Center on Presque Isle, bike down 6th St, to Frontier Park, through the park, alongside the Bayfront Connector Parkway, down for a short jog on Front St as shown on the map, back on the Parkway, and, where the "trail" goes right to Behrend, I go left out to the Lampe Campground and Marina. It's a nice ride, but it's a city ride, and it's not a rail-trail. A lot is on sidewalks. There are some short moderate hills. Lots of side trips: the Maritime Museum, the Pier at the end of State St (a couple of nice biker restaurants here), the Frontier Park arboretum, Liberty Park, Scott Park and you could double your mileage by going around Presque Isle on the bike trail Tom Ridge has lots of free parking and rest rooms. City of Erie needs to step up and put up some signage for this "trail".
Nice run through varied landscape with the animal. Trees, farms, little bridges etc.
Very scenic and flat. Great trail to ride.
We picked up this trail from the Western Reserve Trail. We stayed on Western Reserve to see how far it went out of Champion, OH.
Trail goes through some open areas and wooded areas. Then it became the Garrett Wonders Trail closer to Warren. Trail is a little over 3 miles in length but if you make the connection to Western Reserve, it could be a longer ride.
Short on road section between Western Reserve and Garrett Wonders, follow signs. Nicely paved trail.
Garrett Wonders trail goes through some old industrial areas of Warren and then through some shady neighborhoods.
Beat the July heat on this trail! Mainly shaded throughout the wooded areas of the park.
The trail goes around the lake. Most of it is rolling wooded with some open areas. Not much of a lake breeze but even with temps in the upper 80's, the trail is enjoyable since it's so well shaded.
Bring water. If you do need more, they sell it at the Marina. They also sell ice cream, snacks and other cold beverages. Sometimes hot food is available, check with the first.
Parked at the Sunside Trailhead and rode to Warren. The trail connection is now open. Trail runs from Champion Heights to Warren. One section is the Paul Heltzel section (recently named) and it connects with the Warren Bikeway Trail.
The new section is very nicely paved. It goes through wooded areas and open fields.
They are still working on the trail way up North. See notes. Detour is not bad at all, just around the trail on some back country roads.
Facilities in Champion at the Sunside trailhead. Other than that, you're on your own.
