Just finished this trail. My only advise, DO NOT start at the bailey trailhead. It is fine for a walking trail but definitely too rough for bikers. Otherwise this was a beautiful, easy ride. Start at krider road trailhead or bean's trailhead. Either way you go, will be an enjoyable, easy ride.
Brand new asphalt pavement, September 2021. They were finishing up the work the day we were there. Trail is gravel coming out of Linesville. At the spillway parking lot, the trail starts asphalt pavement and runs smooth to Fries Road. All in all, about one mile is asphalt paved.
Plans are in the future to pave more of the trail and even extend it.
In the meantime, enjoy the fresh new asphalt.
Great for a short bike ride, wheelchair accessible, roller blading, walking, jogging and strollers!
trails not marked well, even the website maps are difficult to follow. City is not overall bike friendly and no real lakefront trail like chicago
This trail is a beautiful loop around the peninsula state park, well shaded and plenty of water holes and bath facilities. For those that want to bike the Erie Pa area and have camping or rv equipment, I highly recommend Lampe campground in downtown Erie on the bayfront. There is a bike trail that connects the campground to the Bayfront connector trail. This trail will take you along the bayfront and has a designated bike path to connect you to the Karl Boyes trail around the penninsula. 34 miles round trip (that's stopping at some nice watering holes along the way.)
Started on the west side in Edgewater Park and tried to ride East. When you get to downtown, suddenly the trail markings for this trail get lost. There are numerous other trails crossing with markings, but never did find the continuation. The tow path comes into play as well as some Metropark trails marked Lake Front. Very confusing. Ride hilly in parts. Took the link back in Edgewater to go to Wendy Park on Whiskey island which was a nice addition to put on a few miles. All in all, a good riding asphalt trail and a nice way to get a feel for Cleveland. Would recommend investigating the other trails if you want to get in some mileage. Not crowded on a Tuesday afternoon.
Working on Shenango Trail 2.5 miles south of Kidd's Mill trailhead to alleviate muddy crossing in open field. Biker and 2 hikers encountered on the trail.
Some minor ups and downs but overall a great loop around the lake.
Nice Trail. We added more miles by going out the the Coast Guard facility
Trail maintenance was done yesterday morning at the beaver pond. But the whole almost 9 miles of trail is finally wide open to foot traffic!! The trail is in great condition considering the flooding we had. Some bridges did get damaged but the small stream crossings are easy enough to cross by foot. You may get a wet toe. And remember, it is summer, you are in the woods, there are bugs. Now go take a hike and enjoy the trail!!
Well paved, changing scenery, wildflowers. It was a great trail. A welcome break from the Ohio Erie Towpath that was almost unbearably bumpy on my recumbent.
The trail is recovering from the torrential rains of July. Flooding has receded from all sections. The lower section from Big Bend to New Hamburg was the worst hit. Two bridges, numbers 2 and 6 were partially destroyed and will require extensive work or complete rebuilds. The streams at those two areas can be crossed with some effort. Mud at mile 1.1 from Big Bend is very thick and can swallow your boots/shoes if not securely tied. Bridge 1 is muddy and evidence of flooding is apparent. All other bridges are in good shape. The northern section from Kidd's Mill to New Hamburg is completely clear of fallen trees from recent high winds and is weeded and open to travel. The area near the Beaver Pond is scheduled to be cleared; but can be navigated. The bog at New Hamburg continues to be a challenge to cross. See the Shenango River Watchers Facebook page or website for workday anouncements.
