We went for a quick family ride with grandkids last night. The trail had a large amount of tall grass on it that had mowed onto the path. The bugs were bad.
Very nice trail, hilly and punchy. You will get a workout. Well maintained, recent fresh asphalt. Almost entirely in the shade on a hot June morning. Meets up with the hike and bike trail at the lower end.
Visited Erie on a whim to do this trail and it did not disappoint. I biked from my hotel by the Pier millennium tower to the park. For the most part it was easy because there was a bike trail but it was also a little confusing when I got to the intersection which I should have turned (not clearly indicating to turn toward the isle) so I went 4 miles out of my way. Once I got on the island there was a separate bike path throughout the park. It was flat and beautiful ride. Stopped at one of the beaches to get my feet wet since it was 95 degrees out and stopped and did the tour of the lighthouse. This was definitely worth visiting Erie to do. Found my way back to the hotel much easier (without going out of my way). Only time I was actually on the road with cars was near Waldameer Park and for the most part felt safe since the speed limit was 25 MPH. If you are visiting Erie, definitely worth the ride. I think it would be really cool to watch the sunset over lake Erie from the island.
Pymatuning Valley Greenway Trail: Great little trail in Andover. We parked at the police station (they offer about 10 spots worth) and headed Northwest to Leon Road. Trail is flat and asphalt paved and pavement is very smooth since it's so new! This section is about 3.5 miles in length. Some wooded offering shade but most of it is through open farmlands. Parking at the Leon Road end for approx 20 cars. Great new pristine trail. The section that runs Southeast out of Andover is a little less than 2 miles in length. You can connect the two on your own navigating though the Village of Andover, there's a few block gap. This trail is maintained by Ashtabula Metroparks. It's been under development for a few years and happy that it's open and operational. While in the area head on over to PA and visit the Pymatuning Spillway Trail and feed the fish at the spillway. Trail services in Andover: Ice Cream, Food, Convenience Store, Pizza place and grocery store.
Beautiful Spring day for a ride. Got through that rough Winter and mostly rainy Spring now time to enjoy the trail. Parked at the North Bloomfield trailhead on Route 87. Headed south for about 10 miles and turned around then North to Orwell and back. Enjoyable trail and ride!
Week before Christmas walk on the trail. Been watching this trail develop and they've done a great job so far. A few finishing touches and the ribbon cutting will be in the Spring.
This is the second time riding the WRG.We started at The Rock Creek Falls Trailhead. Still like because of the wide trail. We also found when you get to the Austinburg Trail Head that about 500 feet west of it is a great coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and have fresh baked pastries. A small coffee and tea and 2 banana bread with chocolate was around $10.00. We like to support local businesses along trails if we can. Safe travels.
We have ridden the trail a couple of times this year. We started at Rock Creek Trailhead and rode to Ashtabula. Nice wide trail. A few bumps but that is to be expected. When you get to Austinburg there is a Coffee shop there that is a good place to get some coffee and a pastry. I believe it’s Station Coffee and Pastry. Coffee beans are roasted on site and fresh baked pastry. We had the banana bread with chocolate chips. Small coffee and a tea and two slices banana bread was around $10.00. We love riding trails where you can stop and try some local shops.
The trail is very poorly marked! The area around Behrend campus and also Lampe Campground near the channel are very nice. The rest is simply urban riding. But it’s better than nothing if you live in the Erie area.
May 2025-Spring Ride. Great ride as always and enjoy visiting the Spillway. Trail is approx 3.5 miles in length, flat and paved. Mid point is the Spillway. Plenty of parking and restrooms.
Very nice trail. Pretty scenery but the amount of gnats on it ruin it. There was probably about 1 minute of the ride where there wasn’t a swarm of gnats you were going through.
