We parked in Orwell and biked South to Bristolville and turned around. Then back to Orwell for lunch at the Mexican restaurant along the trail. Great food and service with outdoor seating. They will also fill your water bottles with water and ice. After lunch we headed North to Rock Spring. Total 36 miles round trip. This trail is virtually flat as well as straight. Most of it is very well shaded. Trail in very good paved condition though between Oakfield and Bristol a stretch about 1/10 of a mile with some kind of speed bumps every 20 feet. We are not sure what the purpose of that is, they are marked with paint. If you can just overlook that, the rest of the trail is super!
First time for riding the Conotton creek trail and we really liked it. The best place to park is on the Jewett end. Nice and flat, pavement in great shape and bathrooms long the way. We will definitely ride this trail again.
Nice community trail that links to a beautiful park for kids. Nice ride if you’re in the neighborhood.
Trail is opened there are no closures at the utility pipeline construction site. Mile marker 2. All clear! July, 2026.
Hats off to Portage County for repaving last year and redoing the RR crossing near Ravenna. Whether it was the RR or the County you did a fantastic job on a hazardous crossing. Very nice trail. Hopefully it gets extended east
This trail is full of curves and gentle hills. And absolute good time to ride. An electric bike with assist is recommended.
Before the Canadian wildfire smoke got worse, we ventured out for a morning ride. Air quality bad but not "as bad" as it got. Hazy skies and the slight smell of burned plastic. The well shaded trail filtered out a lot of it. Trail closure at the 2 mile mark. 1 mile from the Beans trailhead. They have been working on a pipeline near the trail which you could see from the trail and the trail had been open. But now they are working under the trail and there is no way to get around the construction so it's fenced off. Not sure how long they will be working in that spot. In the meantime the remainder of the trail is open.
On a hot sunny Summer day you will appreciate all the shade this trail has to offer! A good percentage of the trail is well shaded by the foliage. Trail crosses over Sandy Creek numerous times on wooden bridges. Be careful though, these bridges are showing their age as boards seem to be warped and popping up along with nails/screws. Still this isn't a deal breaker! Water level in Sandy Creek is low this time of year. One short tunnel you can get away without a light. Great view from the Belmar Bridge (circa 1907) of the Allegheny River. River level low this time of year. Lowest elevation on the trail is at Fisherman's Cove, highest is at Van. If you plan it out correctly, a slight uphill gradual incline on the first part of your ride, then enjoy the coast back on the return trip. Parking off Fisherman's Cove Road, Belmar, Rockland and Van. Trail surface is asphalt paved, good condition, some bumps due to roots and mossy areas. While in the area check out Allegheny River Trail which can be accessed by steps and a ramp, under the Belmar Bridge.
This trail is wider, better kept condition than adjacent Ohio to Erie trail, probably can be muddy during wet weather I enjoyed the ride, well marked!
Always great to visit this trail and enjoy the Linesville Spillway, where the ducks walk on the fish! Trail is flat and paved and follows Pymatuning Lake withing Pymatuning State Park. The trail also goes by the Fish hatchery. Plenty of other park activities as well. The trail runs from Fries Road in Linesville to South Chestnut Street in Linesville but plans are in the making to continue the trail from South Chestnut to South Townville Road. Not a lot of shade on this trail, bring sunscreen. While in the area, just 10 minutes away is the Pymatuning Valley Greenway Trail. July, 2026.
Enjoyed our ride along this trail. Doesn't offer much shade but the scenery is fields of corn and other crops and working farms. We parked at the police station in Andover and biked to Leon Road and back, then zig-zagged through town (Andover) and biked the Southern section from Mill Street to Marvin Road. Out and back is approx 12-13 miles. Always a great ride along this trail which is less than 2 years old. While in the area, about 10 minutes away is the Spillway Trail in Linesville, PA. July, 2026.
