One of the nicest paved trailed around! Clean, maintained, courteous trail users. No bathrooms, but, jeez, pee at Sheetz!
We parked in Franklin and headed South for about 10 miles to Brandon. the first 8.5 miles or so are full sun so keep this in mind on a hot sunny day. Then there is a few miles of shade to Brandon. Beautiful day for a ride for once we had some sun and not overcast and/or rain. Always enjoy our cycling on this trail.
I ride this trail frequently. It is beautiful, clean and well kept. I highly recommend it.
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.
Brand new trail with a lot to see! Only 1.5 miles, this trail is perfect for a stroll along the stream on a nice day. It has plenty of benches in ideal spots and signage about the history of the railroad. The bridge and long tunnel are fascinating trail features that break up the forested areas. Lots of birds and wildlife. It starts at a decently sized parking lot and ends next to a road. Definitely recommend for anyone close by!
I have to say a big THANK YOU to the Portage County Parks District for repairing a good portion of the sections of the trail. So much smoother. Keep up the good work.
Started in Lisbon and rode north to the northern end of the trail. A good portion is shaded. Entire trail is in great shape. Trail signs in Leetonia are missing. When riding north through Leetonia, stay on Main St., which turns into Cherry Valley Rd, then right onto East High Street, which connects with the last few miles of the trail.
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.
We started in Emlenton and headed North. Emlenton to Kennerdell. 12ish miles one way. Rockland tunnel and Emlenton tunnel, need lights...they are dark and long tunnels. Allegheny River water level high due to recent heavy rains. Trail surface is paved. Always an enjoyable ride on this section of the trail.
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.
