KT is an fun nature trail that has some issues that keep it from being perfect. The first is road crossings, which are quite frequent. Another is that the trial is somewhat bumpy, with said bumps being invisible until ride over them with your bike.
Still, the trail is a pretty good length, and keeps you away from urban noises and distractions for the most part, as it keeps you in a nature setting for the whole trip.
I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone considering it.
This is a short 6-mile round trip jaunt. The trail is smooth and flat throughout, composed of gravel.
While it’s not hilly (it’s a flat trail) the elevation was enough for me to drop from 7 speed to 5 speed for the duration and it went fine after that.
There isn’t much to see here except endless power line towers (similar to the ITC Corridor in Novi) which stretch the entire trail.
All in all I do think this is a good trail and look forward to returning one day.
The trail is made up of three segments of roughly (?) equal length.
There are no benches, trashcans, or water fountains on this trail, so be plan accordingly.
Signage gives warning about the possibility of ticks on this train, so maybe stick to the main path, ignore any offshoots, and don’t brush against any plants.
I found the trail to very enjoyable from start to finish, with my only two complaints being: it’s rather short, being maybe six miles roundtrip, and the other being that the surface is dirt and stone, so unless you have a gravel, dirt, or fat tire bike, you might want consider walking this one.
Road crossings are rare.
I would recommend the trail to anybody looking to avoid an urban trail and connect with nature.
The trail is mostly smooth (barring the odd bump) but can be somewhat hilly, so get ready to possibly shift gears. Both roads that comprise the trail are highly trafficked, maybe bring some earplugs?
The trail is smooth and mostly flat, with a round trip of about 3 miles. Be cautious as you travel, as the trail intersects with several neighborhood entrances/exits.
On recumbent trikes, we recently rode about 15 miles of the North Fork; 5 non-paved miles on the far west end, and 10 paved miles on the eastern end. We did not ride the middle section around Wauseon. We also rode the 10 paved miles of the South Fork. The unpaved west end of the North Fork was in very good shape, much better than many parts of the C&O Canal Trail. Any bike with wider tires should be able to enjoy it.
No one has commented on the number of road crossings on all the trail sections. In the 62 miles of trail, there are more than 75 road crossings! Just when you get pedaling up to speed, you come to a road crossing. Some road crossings are very busy, with lots of cars coming fast. Others are not. You have to slow for each one to be sure.
A very nice trail and very worth riding.
Started at the beginning of the trail in Bellevue and rode to the end in Genoa. Round trip was 68.5 miles, so each way about 34 miles. This is a great trail - flat and smooth, with minimal uprooting. Two things to mention: 1. There are several road crossings, and 2. Have to ride on streets in one of the passing towns (route signs are visible, though).
This week we took the farthest west leg of B to B. Beautiful paved trail that mostly runs right along M-52. It is far enough off the actual street that it feels safe—though loud at times. We parked our vehicle at Timber Town Park and then got on our bikes. We made a left out of the parking lot and soon found the bright yellow “bike crossing” sign that signaled the trail. Then we headed northwest on the trail. We prefer rides that are mostly wooded but nevertheless wanted to try out this leg. The whole bike trail is well maintained. It is a very hilly ride—lots of up and down. Therefore it took us a bit longer than normal. Heading out is more uphill, while the returning ride was more downhill.
Smooth pavement except about a 1/4 mile around 6.5 under an overpass. Very comfortable and easy ride. Trail ends abruptly and is hard to find the connection back to it, but otherwise a nice place to put in some miles.
It was a very short trail but good..
It was nice seen some wildlife ate few bugs! Overall I wouldn’t come back it’s too short for me! But good for title kids with parents!!
