September, 2026. This trail was built in 1995 and just this past August, completely repaved for the first time. Super smooth surface! Also new bollards and painted markers at road crossings. The benches are in the process of being returned since they poured new cement pads. Scenery is open farmlands, crops as far as the eye can see! There are a few very short trail sections that offer shade. Well maintained by Wood County parks division, we even saw them working the day we were there. I wouldn't call this trail isolated by any means, just a rural countryside area. Some of the trails in Pennsylvania are isolated as they run through wooded forests in the middle of nowhere. If something would happen to you, you wouldn't be found until hunting season! This trail is just very quiet except for the road crossings and those aren't even very busy. As far as trail services at each end, a few places to eat near the trail in Bowling Green and at the Southern end in North Baltimore, we found nothing.
Summer, 2026. We biked the new section of the trail between Route 520 and Glenmont. No parking at 520. Parking in Glenmont. Very smooth asphalt. Trail has some S-Bends in it. Very enjoyable ride!
Was a nice ride on crushed limestone parts. There were parts that were under construction that were pretty rough. No bathrooms. Benches along the way. We still enjoyed the wild flowers and butterflies ¿.
Rode west toward Brinkhaven. The first 4 miles are very uphill. Got to the crest, saw it was downhill, and decided to turn back rather than having to repeat an uphill climb on the return trip. Then rode east til the off road trail ended ( about 4 miles ). Level path, much better, and called it a day ! Lots of e-bike riders in the parking lot.
Don't know how far past it is closed. Parked in Butler and rode to MM 10. Slight uphill going north. The next day parked in Lexington, and planned on riding to Mansfield. But came to the trail closure, repairing an adjacent road bridge. May have been a nice ride . . .
We really enjoyed this trail. It checked all the boxes for me!! It was mostly shady with trees/woods lining most of the trail, benches to rest, flat, no hills, 14 total miles, lovely scenery, a train track running along side, and a small town at the end of the trail head to shop or eat. Even though it had rough gravel in spots, knowing it is still being worked on, I give it a 5/5. When the trail is completed I think it will be near perfect. We started in Greenwich and ended in New London. We rode around town and found the beautiful New London Recreation Park at 2 Blake St. We had a nice picnic and the park had very clean bathrooms. A horse arena was built there in 2025, and as our extra bonus, they happened to be having an event that day. I love riding bikes, but sometimes the best part of the trails are the surprises you'll find along the way,
We biked from Glenmont to Brinkhaven. Coming out of Glenmont it's a 3 1/2 mile uphill climb to Baddow Pass. Then 4 miles downhill the other side where it levels off before going under Route 62. We stayed on the trail to connect seamlessly to the Mohican Valley Trail. Pan Ohio Hope American Cancer Society was having their annual ride that day and we saw some riders. The trail is in very good paved condition.
We accessed this trail from the Holmes County line. Seamless connection onto the Mohican Valley Trail at the Knox County line in Brinkhaven. Surface is paved in good condition. Trail is shared with Amish horse & buggy's. This is a great connection between the Holmes County Trail and the Kokosing Gap trail in Danville.
This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Parked in Danville and biked over to Mt Vernon. Had lunch at Southside Diner. Walked up into Mt Vernon and visited some shops. Grand Hotel is beautiful. Trail was paved. Mostly flat. A bit downhill on the return trip. Lots to see and beautiful scenery!
We use this trail as a go between the Kokosing Gap Trail and the Heart of Ohio trail in Mt. Vernon. When in Mt. Vernon there is the old train station/welcome center with restrooms open bankers hours. Be sure to visit Ariel Foundation Park 1/2 mile from the Mt. Vernon train station welcome center. Many eateries near this trail. We went to the Southside Diner this time.
