Nice, well maintained, and a variety of uses. We bike, but we have seen skaters, bikers, joggers, walkers, wagons, and strollers. The little covered bridge is a nice stop in Teegarden. Nice mix of shade and sun. Definitely recommend
Nice trail close to home for us. On nice days we bike the trail to town, ending near water tower, stop and get a bite to eat and ride back to Cenfield. Pleasant and always see wildlife.
We have been riding this trail for 3 years. Use caution on several hills and curves. It appears as if storms or runoff have caused some ruts that were “filled” with very large gravel making bike control harder. For walking, it would be okay.
We biked this trail along the section which runs through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. First we took advantage of the Explorer Program offered by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. For $5 you can purchase a one-way ticket, load your bike and take the train to one of the stations then bike riding back. The train was nice and air conditioned. No need to make reservations, purchase the $5 ticket when you board. They have bike restrictions (bike weight) so visit their website for all the information including the schedule. www.cvsr.org
We ate lunch in Peninsula. Eddys bike shop in Peninsula burned to the ground over the Winter they are now operating out of a cement block garage offering bike rentals. There is a farm market along the trail to check out. The trail is mostly crushed limestone with a few paved sections and boardwalks. So many old locks and remnants of the canal. There is an ice cream shop at Boston Mills. Most of the trail is well shaded. Train stations along the way, and some public restrooms but not necessarily at the train stations. All around great way to spend the day! Take the train and you can bike back as little as a few miles or up to 22.
The trail itself was in good shape, fairly smooth not a lot of bumps. About 75% of the ride was shaded. It would be pretty in the fall when the leaves change colors. Major complaint is the amount of horse poop on the trail. And because most of the trail being shaped it was hard to avoid. Washed my bike when I got home. Kokosing Gap trail and Holmes County Trail are much better rides.
The park on the east end has been repaved and can add a mile to your ride. You can add another mile at the park In Mantua The trail is in good condition just slight erosion off one area, there are some bumps from the asphalt to the dirt as you pass some roads, Most mile markers are not legible but no biggie! Very shaded in summer and fall colors could be spectacular
We started at w. 53rd near Michael Zone Rec. Center and rode east. Was flat or downhill most of the ride. The trail is beautifully maintained and very scenic. It was a Saturday so a few strollers and runners, generally I like to see more people on the trail as it feels safer. This connects to the Towpath in the flats where you can pretty much get to anywhere - Whiskey Island, Tremont and West Side Market. We opted for West Market and grabbed a shaved ice. Looking forward to doing this one again!
Biking this trail did not disappoint! Shout out to Metroparks and Cuyahoga Valley National Park for maintaining and connecting the trail. We started at the Boston Mills Trailhead /Visitor Center and used the train in both directions…$5 and they did load our e-bikes. Scenic, charming, and good surface. Stayed at Richfield motel. Convenient.
Nice, well maintained trail. The section from Lisbon to Teegarden is especially beautiful, although there is a bushier section that is on road, albeit a less traveled back road. A short detour at Teegarden will take you to a covered bridge.
The Ohio section of trail at this point is very rough, and not very scenic. The PA trailhead is well maintained, and more scenic.
We parked in Orwell, mile marker 2 of the Ashtabula County section, and biked South into Trumbull county and back. Had lunch at the Mexican restaurant steps away from the trail in Orwell. Then we biked North to Rock Creek and back. Total round trip 35 miles. Trail is flat in both directions, paved and basically as straight as an arrow. Most of this area of the trail is very well shaded. Came in handy on a hot Summer day. It appears the large boulder at the Ashtabula and Trumbull county lines is not there.
