pertaining to the recent june 2021 post regarding the condition of trail surface, both my brother and i can now say emphatically the trail has received a very nice asphalt facelift from mile marker 1 near Bowerston all the way to the end at the covered bridge in Jewett. The only 1 mile stretch is from the trailhead on Broadway st. in Bowerston to the 1 mile marker that still needs new asphalt. But so nice and smooth and you could smell the fresh aroma of the work. Nice job to Harrison County for upgrading the surface. 5 stars definitely and once again a great meal at the Western Grill in Bowerston. Our bike ride closed out the month of July on Saturday so come on down and enjoy the NEW smooth trail in August and the fall
As of July 30, 2021 this trail is newly repaved. Nice scenic ride with a number of nice covered bridges. Nice mix of sun and shade and plenty of shelters along the trail to rest/get out of the rain.
We rode this trail on a hot and humid day and enjoyed the shady tree canopy. The surface is currently crushed gravel not asphalt. We began at the surprisingly nice trailhead on the east end of Danville and continued over the covered bridge and through the short tunnel onto the southern section of the Holmes County Trail. At this point the trail was very nice asphalt and definitely a steady uphill!
Always a nice ride on this trail. Parked at the Mahoning Avenue Trailhead. Great day for a ride. Many friendly people out on the trail. At Kirk Road the bike rental was open. They also sell snacks and water.
Smooth, some incline but relatively flat. Okay views, probably super nice in the fall. Very shaded which I loved!
Wear sunscreen for the wide open areas and enjoy this terrific trail
The Red Line Greenway is a new bike trail in Cleveland, Ohio that opened earlier this Spring. My ride on this trail was part of a larger loop ride I took while in downtown Cleveland. The Red Line Greenway runs from Hoopples Sports Bar, which is across the Cuyahoga River from Rivergate Park in the Flats, out to the Michael J. Zone Recreation Center at West 65th Street and Lorain Avenue. The trail parallels Cleveland’s Red Line Rapid Transit light rail corridor that runs from downtown out to Cleveland Hopkins Airport on the city's westside. The greenway utilizes the former right-of-way along the Red Line to break decades-long transportation barriers, such as freeways and rail lines, that have hindered resident access to and from downtown. In addition, the plan is to provide this linear urban trail with areas where families can pull off for recreation, picnicking, and other activities. At present, there is not a lot to see along the trail other than the rail lines, and the destination points at either end -- the Michael J. Zone Recreation Center & Rivergate Park. Riding to the northeast end of the trail provides connections to the Cleveland Foundation Centennial Lake Link Trail, the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail and the developing Canal Basin Park. When the planned Irishtown Bend Park project is completed in a few years, there will be even more incentive for people in the Detroit-Shoreway and Ashbury Towers neighborhoods to head downtown. This Cleveland Metroparks trail is definitely one to keep an eye on in the coming years.
I’ve been on this new stretch twice now and I thoroughly enjoy it. Although only two miles, it will take you to other trail connections near downtown Cleveland.
Nice country trail but the blacktop surface has gotten in such bad shape that I won't ride it anymore.
What a nice trail with several trails linked to it. Most of the trail is paved. Area is mowed around it. You will share this trail. With other bikers and walkers. It is an easy grade you do have to shift to get over a few bridges. Great place for everyone to enjoy.
