This is a fairly good trail, as long as you don't mind a mostly marsh/swamp style of scenery, with power lines also dominating. It's an enjoyable ride despite that, with a good round trip, and smooth pavement, so I would defiantly recommend if you're looking for a good trail.
An excellent trail that offers a great round trip, shade, regular changes of scenery, this particular trail is a must visit.
I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.
With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.
With nonstop noise from vehicle traffic a constant and nothing to see/do I might consider skipping if you're from out of town.
A good, quick trial that's' mostly sunny, good smooth pavement, but nothing to see except some sports fields.
Walking, biking, fishing, boating, wildlife, skiing, sledding, waterpark, picnic tables everywhere. Miles and miles, plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Swans, blue Herons, Sandhills Cranes, turtles….. I could go on forever. I love it here, drive 45 min. To an hour all the time to come. It’s my haven, it’s my peace. Water everywhere, very safe, park staff, park police. Come and enjoy!!
While coming across OH on our way back to PA from IN, we stopped at this trail. Had lunch in Bowling Green (OH). Parked at the Montessori school trailhead since school was not in session. Biked South to North Baltimore and back. It was a hot and sunny day. There isn't much shade coverage as this trail goes through mainly farmlands once out of Bowling Green. First few miles appears to be newer asphalt pavement but the further South, the more sealed cracks there are but it wasn't bumpy. Wood County Parks District does a great job maintaining this trail with trash cans (that they empty) and park benches along the way. Grass was cut too! North Baltimore end of the trail has parking and real flush toilet restrooms. One block from town for water/food if needed. There are quite a few road crossings but not a lot of traffic.
It's got some nice scenery, but with pretty bad pavement and an iffy round trip distance, I wouldn't bother unless you're local.
Wish I’d had time to ride more of the trail. Excellent condition (mostly) and not too many people on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Got on in Lindsey at the park and headed west all the way out to the end and back. Lots of little rest areas and bike pumps, restrooms at Lindsey and beautiful views, plus lots of shade for the hot days. Only saw one other road bike. Note: turn right to cross under the interstate when heading west. Trail continues immediately after going under bridge (to your left) but is not currently marked. Brand new pavement.
This trail has a good surface of crushed stone and hard packed dirt. The trail followed the Maumee River and the canal. Sometimes either one or both were hard to see because of the foliage on the trees and underbrush. The cement bridge near Waterville and the lock and dam at the other end near Grand Rapids were both interesting. Informational signs were present at both places. I was thankful for the bike fix-it station near the Farnsworth Metropark since I had gotten a flat tire on the trail. It got me where the pressure needed to be beyond what I did with my hand tire pump. It was a good day for a nice ride along the tree lined path with great views.
This is a pretty bad trail, with pavement being cracked and rutted all throughout, with some cracks being bad enough to launch me out of my seat.
There's nothing even to see except some playgrounds, as the trail is largely urban.
