Nice trail close to home for us. On nice days we bike the trail to town, ending near water tower, stop and get a bite to eat and ride back to Cenfield. Pleasant and always see wildlife.
I am thankful for the reviews as I was able to ride the grassy section to add a few miles. I did the county line trail before this one, between the two I managed to do 20 miles with a 7 mile car ride between the trails. Maybe I will live long enough to see and ride the completion of this trail system.
We biked this trail along the section which runs through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. First we took advantage of the Explorer Program offered by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. For $5 you can purchase a one-way ticket, load your bike and take the train to one of the stations then bike riding back. The train was nice and air conditioned. No need to make reservations, purchase the $5 ticket when you board. They have bike restrictions (bike weight) so visit their website for all the information including the schedule. www.cvsr.org
We ate lunch in Peninsula. Eddys bike shop in Peninsula burned to the ground over the Winter they are now operating out of a cement block garage offering bike rentals. There is a farm market along the trail to check out. The trail is mostly crushed limestone with a few paved sections and boardwalks. So many old locks and remnants of the canal. There is an ice cream shop at Boston Mills. Most of the trail is well shaded. Train stations along the way, and some public restrooms but not necessarily at the train stations. All around great way to spend the day! Take the train and you can bike back as little as a few miles or up to 22.
The trail itself was in good shape, fairly smooth not a lot of bumps. About 75% of the ride was shaded. It would be pretty in the fall when the leaves change colors. Major complaint is the amount of horse poop on the trail. And because most of the trail being shaped it was hard to avoid. Washed my bike when I got home. Kokosing Gap trail and Holmes County Trail are much better rides.
As noted, this trail is in the second phase of three, so expect it to be under construction. The third phase will be making the trail under the overpass to eliminate going on the road for that short time.
I started at the trailhead in Greenwich. The parking lot and about .2 mile is gravel, but then it turns to crush stone (crushed limestone or cinder???). That was very flat and smooth. It lasted about a mile until the trail crossed Alpha Rd. The surface was then gravel and dirt, the worse part was closer to the overpass. After a short zig-zag on roads to get across Rt 250 and Vermilion River, the trail continued. The total length of the gravel and dirt section was about 4 miles. The final 2 miles going into New London was crushed stone again. The trail head in New London was paved with cement. No restrooms were at either trail head. It took me about 40 minutes in each direction. It is true that some places were rougher than others, but I was still rolling at 12-13.5 mph. On the limestone sections, I was cruising at 13.5-15.5 mph. The trail is lined with trees and fairly straight, since it was a railroad track in the past. It also crosses a few roads.
The trail does run alongside, but doesn't cross, an active railroad track.
A few benches are located on the crushed stone sections.
Eateries and shops are within maybe a half a mile from the New London trail head, and within a mile or so from the Greenwich trail head.
The trail has improved since I was last rode it in September of 2023, when it was all gravel, and much rougher. For those who like smooth asphalt, parts will be rough. For those who like single track on dirt over roots and rocks, probably won't think that it is bad. Wider tires are recommended. Mine were 35.
Enjoy the ride and remember that it is a work in progress.
Biking this trail did not disappoint! Shout out to Metroparks and Cuyahoga Valley National Park for maintaining and connecting the trail. We started at the Boston Mills Trailhead /Visitor Center and used the train in both directions…$5 and they did load our e-bikes. Scenic, charming, and good surface. Stayed at Richfield motel. Convenient.
Detours on road but not busy as is in the country. Love the flat paved trail 10/10
We accessed this trail at Middlebury Road in Kent at the new trailhead. We also rode the Freedom Trail. Newly constructed shared parking lot on Middlebury Road for both trails. We took the new pedestrian bridge and switchbacks to connect the two trails. 1324 Middlebury Road GPS addr.
This trail is nicely paved and scenic.
Well maintained trail. The only thing missing is an ice cream shop.
We try to get to this one every year commuting nearly 3 hours and staying in the area. Flat paved trail runs from Danville to Mount Vernon. Crosses the Kokosing river several times over historic railroad bridges, goes through Kenyan College at Gambier and passes through the old stone arch in Howard. Mostly shaded with some open farmlands. We saw a few deer. Connecting trails are Heart of Ohio in Mt. Vernon and Mohican Valley in Danville. All around great trail!
