Love the trail but hate having to dodge the horse poop.
A nice ride. The hub is a good place to start.
Trail is 12.5 miles in length and runs from Lisbon up to Washingtonville. Mile 0 is in Lisbon. There is a gradual incline the first few miles. At mile 10 is Leetonia. About a mile through town and the trail picks up again and goes to Washingtonville. Most of the trail covered/wooded. You will pass some farms and go through farmlands. Always a nice ride on this trail. In Lisbon at the trailhead, there is a new canoe/kayak launch and a few benches and a little park.
This trail is always a great trail to ride, well maintained. A variety of wooded areas, commercial areas, residential and some farmlands. Quiet for the most part. A few road crossings. Parking at mile marker 5, Kirk Road offers a picnic shelter, bike rentals and a restrooms. There is also parking at the Canfield Fair area of the trail. Trail is mainly open with a few areas of shade, keep in mind on a hot summer day!
We took electric scooters and did 16miles of this trail was so beautiful seen 6 deer 5 turkeys will glad go back and explore more
Had bikes/ hikes along the towpath at multiple segments. Wonderful connection to nature and important part of history. Now I moved to some eastern city in the US claiming "great park and trail system". Totally not on par with what Cleveland MetroParks/ Towpath can offer. Enjoy and support!
We had a 70 mile drive from Pittsburgh to Jewett OH, parked at 141 E Water St in Jewett. Started with the first covered bridge right at the start. I believe there were 4 more covered bridges along the 11 mile ride to the western end. Plenty of benches to stop and take a break. Several port ‘o potty’s along the trail. Trail is mostly level and new pavement surface. We passed very few riders on our 22 mile ride on a beautiful day. Sunny and 80 degrees. I highly recommend this trail. I wish TrailLink would give an address for trail head parking for navigation!
Quick, safe, and smooth access into the small community! Good sidetrack for camping and entertainment. Stop by Beano’s to have a libation in town (big OSU fan) and respect for Armed Service personnel!
Unique and beautiful. Loved the wetlands and lily pads, as well as the fields. Well maintained.
We rode the trail from South end-point to the Northernmost end-point on a street bike and a three wheeled recumbent. The trail is really flat with very few elevation changes but it does have a few spots where the tree roots have raised the tar surface but overall condition we'd rate the trail is a 4.5 out of 5. SHADED!!! Very few spots where you'll need protection from sun exposure because of the huge tree canopy over 98% of the trail. Very remote trail with very little chance for assistance if needed, but there are three restrooms (start, end and middle). Watch out for the squirrels!!; that's why we wear helmets, 4 close-calls!!
This trail is a true hidden gem. Of course always be mindful of the road crossings. Don't let that scare you away. Definitely feels like a ride through a state park.
