We traveled 100 miles to this trail and really not impressed at all. Reading from the other reviews I maybe expected more. Though it is a nice scenic trail, there are a lot of trails out there that are nicer and more scenic. There really isn't much to see. We parked at M/M 6 in Scio. Traveled east to Jewett at mile marker 11. One covered bridge, zero shade on this section. It was a hot sunny day. Too hot, too sunny. Not much in Jewett. The trail grass was well taken of, recently cut and there are trash cans along which appeared to be regularly emptied. Coming back into Scio we refilled our water bottles and headed the other direction, West to Bowerston. A few more covered bridges and maybe 5% shade cover. Not much to see along this section either. There was quite a bit of noise coming from some industrial sites just off the trail. I think there are some well traveled roads near the trail and not many trees to muffle the sound. Checked this one off the list, worth riding once but not a do-over.
Mostly flat, very light inclines at times, sunny and shade areas. Trail does break and jag near railroad crossing roughly 1/2 way through. Beautiful farmland and woodland areas, raspberries and elderberries alongside trail. Hardly any trail traffic...my friend and I rode side by side majority of trail. Not much to do or see in Rittman or Creston, but occasional bar or tiny restaurant if you need refreshment at either end of trail. I parked nearby Creston police station and was welcomed by a friendly officer. If you want to experience the country and small town bliss, this is the trail.
A mix of cinder(about 2 miles in New London) and large stone and rough terrain the rest of the trail made for a rough, uncomfortable and tricky ride. The nice mix of sun and shade along the entire trail was a positive. Not recommended.
Beautiful Spring day for a ride. Got through that rough Winter and mostly rainy Spring now time to enjoy the trail. Parked at the North Bloomfield trailhead on Route 87. Headed south for about 10 miles and turned around then North to Orwell and back. Enjoyable trail and ride!
I ride this trail frequently. It is beautiful, clean and well kept. I highly recommend it.
This is the second time riding the WRG.We started at The Rock Creek Falls Trailhead. Still like because of the wide trail. We also found when you get to the Austinburg Trail Head that about 500 feet west of it is a great coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and have fresh baked pastries. A small coffee and tea and 2 banana bread with chocolate was around $10.00. We like to support local businesses along trails if we can. Safe travels.
We have ridden the trail a couple of times this year. We started at Rock Creek Trailhead and rode to Ashtabula. Nice wide trail. A few bumps but that is to be expected. When you get to Austinburg there is a Coffee shop there that is a good place to get some coffee and a pastry. I believe it’s Station Coffee and Pastry. Coffee beans are roasted on site and fresh baked pastry. We had the banana bread with chocolate chips. Small coffee and a tea and two slices banana bread was around $10.00. We love riding trails where you can stop and try some local shops.
I have to say a big THANK YOU to the Portage County Parks District for repairing a good portion of the sections of the trail. So much smoother. Keep up the good work.
Started in Lisbon and rode north to the northern end of the trail. A good portion is shaded. Entire trail is in great shape. Trail signs in Leetonia are missing. When riding north through Leetonia, stay on Main St., which turns into Cherry Valley Rd, then right onto East High Street, which connects with the last few miles of the trail.
We biked the trails yesterday from Fredericksburg to Millersburg, we bike the trails a lot and we love it. My only concern is the stretch of trail between Fredericksburg and Holmesville is getting so rough and there are cracks in the center of the trail that you can get your bike wheel in, that it's getting a little dangerous. I'm hoping it will get repaved soon.
Road this trail from Dalton to Messner RD in Massillon on Mother’s Day. I hacked this trail two years ago and you can tell there hasn’t been much maintenance done. The paved area was bumpy. The graveled area was much smoother. Caution at the bridges because the steel plates are rough at the transition from trail to bridge. I find the foot traffic is low on the paved area. No foot traffic when you get to the gravel section. Everyone is friendly on the path and the views are outstanding. Saw a few squirrels and one ground hog. The shaded tree area by the creek is so relaxing. No trash along the trail, so it’s nice to see users are helping keeping it clean.
