Smooth asphalt trail that mostly runs next to roadways, and connects to the Bedford Reservation trail to the west. No doubt it is hilly, but that also makes it challenging and fun. I often take it from Chagrin Falls to Bedford, where i can connect with the mostly flat Hike and Bike trail at Alexander Road, and then go into Summit and Portage counties. That allows me to ride a total of 65-70 miles (out and back). The only downside is that the trail crosses roads that can be busy, forcing you to wait.
We live not too far from this trail and like to bring our dog along for a nice walk. The trail is flat and new asphalt pavement is easy to walk. Nice local trail.
I am definitely biased, but having this trail a quarter of a mile from my house is a gift. The crushed limestone parts are very smooth and any bike will work. It does get rough for much of the trip. A mountain bike or gravel bike is needed. I have a hardtail mountain bike and that is perfect. I hope in the future they complete the trail with crushed limestone. But if they don't I will still be happy it's there.
I went to the Alexander Rd trailhead on 10/25/25 planning to ride south over Brandywine Falls area, but the trail is completely blocked off with fencing and heavy equipment for an apparent repair. It was disappointing, but I rode north into the Bedford reservation instead for a hilly, beautiful ride. Just wanted everyone to be aware of the closure. There is no posting when it may be opening again.
I’m a newer rider and decided to ride from Ira trailhead north to Boston Mills. It was about a 14 mile round trip, mostly flat ride. It was absolutely beautiful for a crisp, fall ride! There were some areas of congestion along the way, but most of the ride was quiet and relaxing. I look forward to trying other areas of the trail!
We rode the roughly 30 miles from Fredericksburg to Killbuck and back. Paved trail with some nice views and lots of shaded areas. It’s a shared trail with horse/buggies and there are a lot of Amish on E-bikes pulling carts but the path is very wide. My only complaints are the bumps in some areas and the need to constantly dodge horse manure.
Really love this trail. Mostly shaded and they have ground down the tree roots but could use more road markings and signage at road crossings. The electric bikes and scooters are really becoming a problem.
The trail has been resurfaced and the section up to the Medina Career Center has been paved with asphalt. Trail is in excellent condition. Nice job Medina county!
Holmes County trail has recently been extended an extra 4 miles from the Glenmont trailhead. Killbuck trailhead is now approximately a 3 mile highway ride from the end of this new addition.
Rode out on Old Muskingum. He people, flat quiet, not too much to look at. then back on towpath but closed at Crystal Springs.
This short trail connects to other trails to make a loop from the Ohio and Erie trail. I started at Bacci park, north east to Garfield park, west on Morgana run. Then to this trail to Ohio and Erie connector. About a 18 mile loop.
