We travel over 3 hours to get to every year and stay in the area. Trail runs from Mt. Vernon to Danville. Connects to other trails at each end. This trail is paved in good to fair condition. There was a closure on the trail near Kenyan College approx mile marker 4. Word is they are doing repairs before a near future repave. We will see next year when we come back. Most of the trail is well shaded but some of it goes through open farmlands. Take the Mt. Vernon Connector and there are numerous places to eat next to the trail. While in the area visit Berlin Amish Country. All in all this trail is one of our favorites!
Since our last visit in 2022 they recently have repaired the ruts and potholes. Not a complete repave but a good job fixing up the mess. But from Holmesville to Fredericksburg there still are some cracks with grass growing up and a rut down the middle so stay to the side. This trail is a thruway for the locals to get from town to town. Heavy traffic even on a weekday. Didn't see many regular manual pedal bikes or even pedal assist but large class ebikes and scooters and some as large as small motorcycles. They sound like golf carts when passing using their throttles. It's not a very quiet and relaxing trail. The speed limit is supposed to be 20 mph that's a joke because if these "machines" can reach speeds beyond that, then the trail users are gonna use all the power they have. Only saw one Amish horse and buggy. I know they're out there because they already chewed up the new pavement sections that have been recently repaired. Most of the trail is shaded. At the Killbuck end construction workers are working on the trail segment thru town. We biked Fredericksburg to Killbuck and back, 30 mile round trip. Several parking areas along the way.
This trail is well maintained and very beautiful
I parked in Wellsburg and rode through town first. Very unkempt and Unmarked. Bumpy and just all around super unenjoyable. Headed back the other direction. While nicer, admittedly, it was still pretty unkept. 2/10 for being lackluster. At best.
We rode this trail today, there is a lot of nice canopy so even on a hot day it’s nice. However, they were cutting back the weeds and sides of the trail, and there was a lot of debris on the trail. Also, there are no restrooms at the trailhead/parking areas. There was one in Johnstown, but it was disgusting.
We recently moved from Tennessee and this trail really surpassed all expectations. It was really well maintained and quite beautiful. It was an easy ride it’s nice and flat even though it’s tucked in the rolling hills of Guernsey County. This trail definitely rivals any you will find in Tennessee. Overall it was a wonderful experience.
Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
I biked this trail with a friend of mine who volunteered to clean out Lochs 7 and 8. This native Ohioan, who hails from Minerva, led my brother and I on a 36-mile round trip tour of this trail from Navarre, Ohio to the Dover Dam and back. The trail we traversed was mostly crushed stone or dirt, but it was exciting to witness firsthand the beautiful lochs revealed from our friend's tireless dedication. We would occasionally dodge a tree root or pothole on the trail along the canal, but it was doable. Not only did we pass over a bridge or under a tunnel, but we stopped for lunch as the most successful communal settlement in the United States!
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
I’m a newer rider and decided to ride from Ira trailhead north to Boston Mills. It was about a 14 mile round trip, mostly flat ride. It was absolutely beautiful for a crisp, fall ride! There were some areas of congestion along the way, but most of the ride was quiet and relaxing. I look forward to trying other areas of the trail!
We rode the roughly 30 miles from Fredericksburg to Killbuck and back. Paved trail with some nice views and lots of shaded areas. It’s a shared trail with horse/buggies and there are a lot of Amish on E-bikes pulling carts but the path is very wide. My only complaints are the bumps in some areas and the need to constantly dodge horse manure.
