I read the reviews and it sounded perfect - mostly shaded and a beautiful loop around Lake Wilhelm. Lots of wildlife. The trail is in great condition and paved. There was a section covered in algae and a little slick. The trail is hilly - nice ups and downs - so you feel rewarded after working to get up the rolling hills and you’re equally thankful for the sections where there aren’t any hills. But for those coming from another state and used to rail trails this was challenging. I could have been slightly more prepared. I will ride this trail again. But just know it’s not a leisurely ride around the beautiful serene lake.
Always an enjoyable ride along this trail. Most of it's length is well shaded which helps on hot sunny Summer days. This trail never disappoints!
Map is backwards. Plenty of parking at North end of trail. North section is about 3 miles, while the South is about 2 miles.
Rode the trail today (6/7/26) from Middlefield to Chardon. We saw 5 snapping turtles on the trail! Great day.
This ride has been on my "to do" list for a while. Yesterday I got up and looked at the weather and decided to make it happen. (I live in NY about 2 hours away). I knew I wanted to do this before Memorial Day as I am assuming it gets crowded in season.
I can honestly say this was the best ride I have had in a long time. The trail itself was well kept. People for the most part were respectful as far as sharing the trail with bikers, walkers, etc. I like that park speed limit is 25 miles for those sections of the trail where you either need to switch sides of the road or ride with the traffic.
The scenery was great as well. From seeing the boat houses, Perry Monument, the ferry dock, people riding surreys and out on the water fishing and kayaking. I even enjoyed a post-ride hotdog at Sara's to complete my day.
I had such an enjoyable and relaxing day, I cannot wait to go back.
A rare warm and sunny Spring day, got out for a nice bike ride along this trail. Parked at the police station on Maple street in Andover. Headed northwest to Leon Road. Scenery is Farmlands, most of the trail is straight as an arrow and not much shade. Once back to Maple street, zig zagged through Andover to Mill street and biked on the Southern section to Marvin Road. There is a new gravel parking lot at the Marvin road end of the trail.
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.
Great trail that is paved. Very nice views of Pymatuming Lake. Would definitely ride again.
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.
