Rode on a cool spring day. Very smooth paved trail with rollercoaster like hills. Very fun enjoyable ride. 22 mi around the lake and back. Will definitely be back when visiting from VA.
The Pymatuning Valley Greenway is a developing rail trail being built in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Currently, the trail is centered around the village of Andover, Ohio. One portion of the trail runs northeast from the Village Hall on Maple Street to its current end, a trailhead located on Leon Road in Richmond Township. This paved trail is in excellent shape and runs through both woods and open farm fields. I really enjoyed riding this portion of the trail.
The other portion of the trail runs southwesterly from Mill Street to Marvin Road. As of the time of this posting TrailLink implies that you connect to this section of the trail by following an on-street route through town along Maple and Depot Streets. This implies taking the most direct route using N. Main Street (US-6) between Maple and Depot Streets. I would suggest otherwise. From my observation this street is heavily trafficked. There is little, to no berm, and it was obvious that a good number of commercial trucks use this route. My suggestion would be to use residential streets to reach a place to cross US-6. Travel away from N. Main on Maple Street, take a left on Gates Street and another left onto Hickory Street. Cross over N. Main St. at the end of Hickory. Then ride the sidewalk half a block until you reach Depot St. Follow Depot Street which will become Mill Street after you cross over E. Main Street (OH-85). The trailhead will be further down on Mill Street.
The southwest section of the Pymatuning Valley Trail is mostly shaded and runs by the Andover Golf Course, a pond, and one working farm on its way to its current end at Marvin Road. When the trail is extended beyond Marvin Road it will provide access to Ohio and Pennsylvania state parks on the Pymatuning Reservoir. This appears to be the area of the next phases of the trail’s construction. Connecting the trail to the reservoir will definitely increase the trail’s utility and popularity. I look forward to riding this trail again in the future.
February 2026 hike. A good 6" of snow on the ground. Shenango River frozen due to multiple weeks of below freezing temperatures.
Beautiful sunny but cold Winter Day to get out and enjoy the trail. A good 8" of snow covering the trail. We parked in the small lot out on Trout Island Road and walked to the end and back.
Over a foot of snow fell during 2 days at the end of January. Snowshoed on the bike trail and off the trail on the hiking trails. Knee deep snow made it great for snowshoeing. Lake Wilhelm was frozen and there were ice fisherman out on the ice.
January-2026. We hiked on the section through the game lands towards Conneaut Lake. Several inches of snow on the ground. Trail is flat at wide. In the Winter, with snow, good for hiking, XC skiing or snowshoeing. We parked in the game lands parking lot near the kayak launch.
When in the Greenville area I use this trail for walking. I know many locals from the Greenville area that use this trail on a regular basis. They said it's wonderful to be able to walk or run and not worry about road traffic. Trail goes from Main street North to Porter Road. Off the trail there is a 1/4 mile spur to Riverside Park. The crushed limestone trail follows the Shenango River. At Porter road, though no parking is available, there is an access to the river down a short path.
Frigid blustery day to visit the park and trail. Several miles of the trail on the bay side were plowed by park personnel. Saw one cyclist using it. Several walkers. Park roads were snow covered. The sections of the trail that were not plowed had a good foot of snow on them, great for XC skiing. Plenty of hiking trails in the park good for hiking or snowshoeing. Ice in the trees on the bay side, some areas of the lake were frozen over though not thick enough for ice fishing. Horseshoe pond where the "houseboats" are was frozen though not sure how thick. The lake side of the peninsula ice was forming into ice dunes. Snow drifted over the trail on that side. A beautiful trail and park to visit year around.
Early November 2025. Fall foliage starting to fade but still a beautiful ride. Saw a few deer and the turtles were out on the log in the pond at the Beans trailhead end of the trail, near Home Depot.
Enjoyed another very nice ride on this trail. Though the entire length is nearly 12 miles long, the section to the East of Route 19 is paved and very nice. We get in some good miles by going back and forth. Leaves are only beginning to change, early October.
