Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
Trail is poorly marked and littered in trash and glass. It looks like they’re adding new segments near the creak but most of the trail is still on city sidewalks covered in glass. Zero pride in this community. Worst trail in this area.
How about a round of applause for the cities, counties, employees, and volunteers who put this great trail together. Unlike the LMRT, this trail is not a state park but a series of parks in many jurisdictions. I do not know who coordinates this effort to create the ‘whole’, but good job.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
We rode about 35 miles of this trail August, 2024. Day 1: D street trailhead to Williamsburg (22 miles round trip). Very rough road in Richmond and heavy traffic at 2 road crossings. Once we got to Webster it was a lovely ride to Williamsburg. Porta-john at Webster and Williamsburg. Nice little shelter with picnic tables in Williamsburg too. Day 2: Williamsburg to Losantville (25 miles round trip). Alternated between wooded areas and open farmland. Saw some animals and birds - including cardinals. The last 3 miles into Losantville follows US 35 and there is a lot of vehicle noise but the trail does not force you to cross US 35. We did walk across 35 in Losantville to gas station for drink and snack - there was some tables and chairs outside. Also used the restroom. Day 3: Medford north to just past US 35 (27 miles round trip). This is roughest part of path we rode. There were not only horizontal cracks but also deep vertical cracks in pavement that were dangerous to bike tires. Not much shade and not very scenic with several heavy traffic rode crossings, including crossing US 35 twice. We did stop at depot in Muncie. Nice restrooms, gift shop and trail info, including mileage chart that I did not find online anywhere.
In Piqua, Troy and Dayton, trail is not always marked. You know you're on A trail, but not WHICH trail, or, on on-road sections, it is not clear where the trail goes. In addition, trail surface is quite rough for lengthy distances. Not recommended.
The trail is blacktop, very well maintained.Shaded in evening, with lots of wooded areas along the river. Wildflowers too.The bathrooms in Heritage West Park, appear to be very nice.
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.
7/19/24—just finished ride from Lehman Park, Berne to Snow cemetery on hard packed gravel ROW trail under construction. Nice ride even for 79 y/o with regular road bike. Scheduled to be paved starting late July.
Saw 4 red headed woodpeckers , numerous birds, chipmunks , rabbits and coyote scat. I was only one on trail during Friday early afternoon.
Hidden gem.
I rode this trail on 07/01 and they are about to pour the asphalt on it.
It is pretty wide trail and very bike/ walker friendly.
Thank you
This path is located on the eastern shore of Grand Lake in Grand Lake St Marys State Park. The trail parallels the East Bank Parkway which features 3 picnic shelters with water and parking lots and great views of this large lake. Personally I think this path was created to keep joggers and cyclists off the parkway during the shelters’ busiest times – weekends and holidays during the summer.
The pathway is in fair shape but functional. There are quite a number of spots where wide cracks run across the entire width of the trail. Patching or resurfacing the trail would improve the ride. I could see this trail becoming a part of a larger network of trails that would encircle Grand Lake. Coupled with the Franklin Township Greenway Trail and the West Bank Trail the potential network is about half complete. Since I’m not a resident of the area perhaps there is a feeling that the loop around Grand Lake is already complete. However, several of the roads around Grand Lake carry cars at high speeds and do not have wide shoulders or bike lanes which makes an out-of-towner such as myself hesitant to ride them.
