Middle Branch Trail

newly paved

October, 2024 by doherty2jto

This trail was just recently paved and only has a small crushed stone part near veterans park. It’s a nice trail to get out and walk or run. The crushed stone was easier on the knees but for biking the pavement is really nice.

Richland B&O Trail

Sorry but taking this off my favorites

September, 2024 by jjarrell1

We started off at the trail head in Mansfield. Was not going to park my car in that neighborhood. Ended up driving to Butler and working our way back. Was kinda cool in the start seeing some crop dusters type planes getting ready to take off. Trail was in decent shape, had dog in trailer and was hoping for some water to let her swim, was 85 degrees. There was a blue bridge, maybe Belleville but the little park we could have stopped at said Private Property so we tracked on. We ended up going the whole trail and when we arrived back close to Mansfield we decided to turn around when I started seeing barbed wire on fence. It was pretty open in many areas and very hot. Some cool looking buildings but some really dangerous intersections and 90% of drivers will not stop for you. No intention return to this trail but can say we completed.

Richland B&O Trail

Beautiful but Dangerous

September, 2024 by eagle0086

We rode the trail from Butler to the trails end in Mansfield (slightly uphill). Shady for the most part…, with a blend of countryside to Urban all along the way. There were several places along the way to stop and take breaks (if needed). There are numerous places where the road crossings were dangerous, due to the volume of traffic.

Marion Tallgrass Trail

Second Ride For Us

September, 2024 by ffqm9jxg27

We road this early summer now it’s fall. Really like the trail. Lots of leave down and they are so fry from drought. They crush when you ride over them

County Line Trail (OH)

nice

September, 2024 by waynelloyd

Very nice ride - quiet and scenic. No issues with it overgrown in other reviews My wife and I really enjoyed it- 1 hour ride end to end

Zoar Valley Trail

I like it

September, 2024 by jjarrell1

We took the dog out in her cart. Trail is a bit tight for a trailer and it’s rough. Probably never will fix because river destroys it when it rains. I thought I was going somewhere new and wife says we have been here before and after seeing the old Zoar bridge I realized I have did this trail many times. Not a lot of people on it so not bad. Dog liked the areas where she could get out and jump in the Tuscarawas River. She’s sleeping now.

Kokosing Gap Trail

Holmes County Trail

Killbuck to Fredericksburg

August, 2024 by blarnold

Did the trip today. Trail is definitely uphill on the way. Surface is decent, although there are some bumpy spots. Ate at Lem’s and had a good meal. Met some of the locals and heard some interesting stories about the town. Return trip was quick. Good facilities at Millersburg.

Holmes County Trail

Killbuck to Fredrickstown 32 miles
