The crack in the trail were taxing. They are ever 20-30 feet for most of the trail. It honestly kind of ruined the experience. Otherwise it’s a nice trail.
This is a lovely, shaded trail that we found to be one of the best And widest that we have biked. Considerate users, not very crowded, well maintained signage and trail surfaces, fantastic views of river across unique bridges. Truly a gem for bikers, walkers, runners and birders.
Even grade, gravel & wide enough for a walking lane & biking ¿¿.
The starting point is at Edgewater Park. It starts off beautiful in a park that is well taken care of. Then once you cross the bridge at West 25th and Detroit Ave, you are in the center of downtown. Navigating through the city streets is stop and go. Then once you come to the Cleveland Brown stadium, you are not riding on a trail, but again a street road. Thankfully this road does not see a lot of traffic. Once you pass the airport, you ride along the water into a beautiful neighborhood on Lakeshore Blvd passing by beautiful mansions. The biggest downfall I had riding this trail was coming up to and through Euclid. Biking lanes are not well marked. Many cars do not respect bikers and right up next to you making me not feel at ease. The final end point at Wildwood Park which not is the best kept park in relation to edgewater, however they did have paved trails and beautiful scenic outlooks on the beaches/water. I wish this trail had more signs that identified that you are still on the Lakefront Trail because it is easy to take a wrong turn and get lost. I rode from Edgewater to Wildwood Park and back, but my final ending mileage was 30 miles.
This trail mostly paved blacktop and rather short. It is a great walking trail and a trail where very young riders can safely build strength and confidence. The northern terminus isn't much. Those wishing to ride through Medina should aim for Fair Road to get through the worst of the traffic.
Trail is always delightful to ride. The new enclosed tunnel construction is coming along under the Ohio turnpike but the short detour makes it easy to get around. This trail is enjoyed by many people. New asphalt resurfacing at the Canfield end.
I enjoyed riding this short 4.5 mile trail. I started at Deer Creek Reservoir and headed south. The trailhead is across the parking lot from the boat launch. The trail follows the shore of the reservoir and crosses over a bridge at the spillway. The bridge and spillway seem to be a point of interest for all using the trail. You must road ride for about 9/10ths of a mile in order to pick up the southern portion of the trail. This southern section follows the twists and turns of the Mahoning River as it makes its way into Alliance, Ohio. The crushed stone surface along this portion of the trail is not as well maintained as that of the trail along the reservoir. In all likelihood this probably due to local flooding, though the trail surface on the day I rode this trail was completely dry and free from any mud. Biking along this portion along the river probably is better suited for bikes with slightly wider tires than a standard street bike, but not necessarily anything too wide. The southern end finishes at the athletic fields in Earley Hill Park in Alliance. This trail will be well shaded during the summer.
this trail is under construction and is short. but, will be very nice when finished. already a lot of family usage. much needed for the area. very scenic and an easy ride for little ones.
Still construction going on but the detour is nice. Coming back from niles can be a little brutal if your riding into the wind for it’s all slightly up hill
Just as an update, the entire trail was recently repaved and is in great condition.
