It's a nice smooth surface. I have read reports of issues with inappropriate activities by homeless but it has been relatively quiet each time we've taken it.
If you take it do it from Peru to Brownsville. I did it from Neb City all the way to Brownsville and the first part was not maintained at all and then a boring 5 miles thru a farm. In Peru they have a nice bathroon if it was open. I get real mad knowing these trail town get money to maintain this stuff yet allot do nothing especially in Nebraska. Once again no trash cans, bathrooms and honestly except Brownsville no real towns to speak of and it was a long ride when you have to do it there and back. I think Peru to Brownsville if fixed up and maintained could host some cool biking events and add some running events in it. Its got some nice views.
Went from Peru to Brownville. Definitely more utilized than Brownville to end.
As the title says, the trail itself feels a little bit utilitarian. I probably wouldn’t pick this one to go on a fun leisurely ride. That said, I’m very glad this is here, because I don’t want to ride in the road and I hate riding sidewalks. There are times when you need to take this direction to get to places, whether they be stores like The Home Depot near 27th and Superior, or other trails like Highland Loop or Dietrich Connector. I also appreciate this trail is paved.
I’m so glad this trail is paved because it’s my second favorite place to ride in Lincoln, after Rock Island, which turns east onto this trail by the Lincoln children’s zoo. Previousmy, I thought that Antelope Valley Trail, which runs east until it merges into this trail, is less scenic and more utilitarian, as well as Antelope Creek Trail which turns off this trail and runs west, and is possibly even more scenic, were part of Billy Wolff. I only just now learned that they are not technically considered part of it directly.
As the title says, this is a continuation of the Billy Wolff Trail, but unlike it, it runs through neighborhoods and wooded areas the entire time. The former starts out downtown in the decidedly city area with not a lot of scenery. P.S. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is part of Billy Wolff; I only just now learned that this is technically a different trail after it comes out of Holmes Lake and curves around the dog park. Even the sign there says “Billy Wolff”!
Some people would give this trail a lower rating citing “near 70th St, not super scenic” but my opinion is that there’s nothing wrong with the trail at all (it’s one of the best in terms of surface upkeep in fact) so I’m not going to detract stars for that. In fact I live in Colonial Hills neighborhood, so this is the only way I can get to Holmes Lake via trail. Just be aware that it does change sides of the street at 70th and Glynoaks Dr., other than that it takes you from one important trail to the other and very comfortably at that.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
Mostly wooded with few road crossings. Storm damage has been cleared. Very pleasant walk from north end on Leavenworth to Vinton Street. Mostly walkers and a couple bikers. Some benches.
We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
You need to take this trail off the app. The worst trail in America may be the world. God bless you all.
