We've been riding this trail annually, with the exception of 2021, traveling almost 3 hours to get to, for the past 8 years or so. What once was a lovely quiet trail with a few Amish horse and buggies and some cyclists, has now become a drag strip for eBikers. Apparently the eBike is now the main means of transportation preferred by local folks and with the speed limit of 20mph on the trail, it's one zooming by after another which doesn't seem to be monitored and some going even faster. The trail like a drag strip, since it's flat and out in the open. The trail is, and always was, the Amish turnpike allowing locals to travel throughout the area to work and stores. Our last visit here was in 2020 and it wasn't like this back then.
Also noticed with increased traffic, the trail seems to need some maintenance. Surface isn't as smooth as it was. There are separate lanes for bicycles and buggies but noticed no one seems to pay attention and just go wherever they want to go. There is horse manure on both sides. And if you're in the bike lane, manually pedaling at 11-12 mph, and a group of locals on eBikes wants to pass, they may go into the buggy lane. Have noticed also that when you see one there are more than likely a group of 3, 4 and more, realizing they are commuting to work or the store. This trail is great for the local community but if you are looking for a nice quiet bike ride, move on.
Parked in New Hamburg at approx mile 4.25 and hiked to approx mile 5.5 and back. Nice well maintained trail. Still working on completing all sections of the trail. Always an enjoyable hike.
I know this Trail better than any other in NE Ohio. It’s beautiful. Great hills, long slopes in cool dark woods. Some wildlife and scenic rivers. It’s crowded at times with some who aren’t aware of their surroundings. This can be a challenge. Otherwise, I believe this old school portion of the Emerald Necklace is still a gem.
Nice easy paved trail with active train traffic. We had three trains go by on our ride. Part shade and part open farm land, beautiful scenery?
This is a scenic trail. Started in Concord and went to south of Chardon. Great mix of straightaways and fun curves in the woods and alongside a highway. My only negative was crossing the streets to get through Chardon. People just didn’t seem to enjoy the idea of yielding. I literally said out loud “really” as people just kept blowing by. I would have gone further out but I kept thinking about having to cross those roads again. Based on that I wouldn’t ride this again. I prefer longer uninterrupted rides. But very scenic.
Beautiful countryside, lots of farming land that you get to see. Close to my moms house in Canfield.
Parked at New Hamburg and went North approx 1.5 miles and back. Trail is very well maintained. The mud bog, thankfully, was all dried up. Nice hike to enjoy.
Yes the trail is a great ride, but there are 27 stop signs with a lot of traffic no traffic lights so you have to wait. Rode both trails , take water only one rest area.
A group of 8 friends ventured to Akron with the purpose of hiking and biking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We truly lucked out on the weather; it was sunny and 80 degrees on both Friday and Saturday. We stayed at a hotel very near the North Akron train station, which is the southernmost terminus of the historic railroad, and also very near a trailhead for the Ohio & Erie Towpath. There is also a fantastic bike shop near this same station, Dirty River Bikes.
The Towpath runs generally down hill from south to north as you ride towards Lake Erie, noticeably so as you ride out of Akron. Since this is a tow path, there are very, very few traffic crossings. The trail is well maintained, long stretches of crushed limestone in the more rural areas. the trail is suitable for any style of bicycle, narrow tires are fine, whatever you ride. Attractions we enjoyed: the Beaver Pond is a great place to stop and look for wildlife in the bog & maybe take some photos. Szalay's farm store is a great place to stop and eat & perhaps stock up on provisions for a longer ride. Peninsula is a funky little town, a couple of good restaurants and a bike shop. We only rode as far north as Independence, since that is the northernmost terminus of the train, so about 27 miles of riding. We ate at Lock Keeper's restaurant in Independence, and it was excellent.
At Independence, we put our bikes on the last train of the day, just $5 per person with the bikes. The train was not at all crowded, and we found many cyclists in good spirits, talking about various rides all over the country. It was a very pleasant way to get back to our lodgings.
I highly recommend this trail, the combination of the tow path and railroad make it unique.
The connection in Rock creek is opened! No detour on county roads. Shady and cool even in August. Coffee shop just opened in Austinburg, along with an ice cream shop and a small convenience store. No parking at 52 st the last mile is more road crossing than trail. Turn around at the Rotary park. Last rest stop is in Austinburg.
Parked at Kirk Rd took the trail to Niles and back. Nice ride it was 83 no humidity. New blacktop in Niles a bit rough/ not flat but still good ¿
