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.
Similar to nearby Dalhem Center, this is not a trail per se, but a number of
them in an enclosed area, with the main trail only being a mile long (round trip). As bikes are not allowed at the colleges request, this is just a set trail loops that can be walked in a small location
This trail is a quick, done-in-under-30 min-type of trail. It starts off in a nature setting that quickly gives way to urban almost immediately, with nature returning in the last segment.
It is a little difficult to stay on this one as there is no trail marking or signage that I saw.
The last part is comprised of loose stone that might make a bike trip unpleasant, so consider walking this path.
There isn’t too much to this trail, being a round trip of 3 miles. It is nice and smooth for the most part.
You’ll spend most of your time in an urban setting except for a brief stint in a wooded section that ends far quickly for my taste.
It’s fine for locals, but I wouldn’t bother traveling to this one.
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.
This is an excellent trail, bar none. It is an predominantly nature trail, with no real urban distractions like cars zipping by. It is 99% smooth and free of bumps (with the only exception being miles 8 through 10 by Weatherwax trailhead being a little rough).
Road crossings are somewhat frequent, so be on the lookout for those.
Benches and trash cans abound for those who need them, and mile markings also can be seen throughout the trail.
Sculptures been added to the last two miles, adding to the scenery.
There is an extender to this trail just past the Concord trailhead, adding about another mile or so to the experience if you're up for the full ride.
I can not recommend this trail strongly enough.
Those looking for a good nature trail need go no further than FWT.
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.
This brief trail is a mix of a brief segment of nature that quickly gives over to an urban setting, linking with the Baw Beese trail. The trail is mostly smooth, with a few plant roots breaking through the asphalt. It's best used as a walking trail, as it ends too quickly on a bike, unless you head down the Baw Beese trail as well.
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 Jackson end of the trail using the Weatherwax road trailhead.
Short trip down a connecter trail to the actual trail start.
The trail was in great shape with many new paved patches and crack fills, looks like the recently address the "roots" mentioned in the 2022 reviews.
12 foot wide provided lots of room.
The view was terrific as the trail bisects Lime Lake.
We drove a couple of hours to ride this trail and I would definitely do it again in the future.
