Great American Rail-Trail

Airbnb right on trail in Burgettstown

June, 2026 by dowiakp

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.

Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail

Loch Monster

May, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

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!

Springfield Branch Trail

Local Community Trail

April, 2026 by sjf0809

This trail is good for local people and college students and staff to get to various places close to the Ohio Wesleyan University. A few people were using it at mid-day on a Wednesday during April. It was in fairly good condition. Warning lights help with street crossings. I parked in the lot off of S Liberty St and then biked in both directions.

Sippo Valley Trail

Sippo. 4/23/26

April, 2026 by blarnold

Parked and did the short ride toward Massillon. Turned around and went to the end, where the spoke goes off toward Dalton. Very pretty scenery! Middle of trail is crushed limestone. They were out sweeping the trail and also mowing. Great trail!

Wadsworth Interurban Trail

A Short Trail That Demonstrates Its Community's Sense of Pride

April, 2026 by orangedoug

I rode over 3.5 miles on an out-and-back ride on the Wadsworth Interurban Trail in Wadsworth, Ohio. This trail was built on the right of way of the old trolley car line that ran through Wadsworth and much of Northeast Ohio during the first third of the 20th century. While the trail is currently short (just under 2 miles in length), there is potential to expand it to the east). It is well maintained. It connects Wadsworth’s downtown to 3 parks. It seems to be a community amenity that is well supported by both the citizens and the city government. The trail surface is asphalt and is free of broken glass and debris. It is mostly a standalone trail, but includes a separated bike lane along Chestnut Street and a short on-street ride on Ohio Avenue, a low-traffic residential street, in order to connect to the trail segment leading to the Main Street business district in downtown Wadsworth. It is pretty flat except for the section along Chestnut Street and into Miller Park. This is a pretty little trail that could be even better if it can be extended to the east.

New London-Greenwich Rail Trail

New London-Greenwich Rail Trail

January, 2026 by tbabcock60

I am definitely biased, but having this trail a quarter of a mile from my house is a gift. The crushed limestone parts are very smooth and any bike will work. It does get rough for much of the trip. A mountain bike or gravel bike is needed. I have a hardtail mountain bike and that is perfect. I hope in the future they complete the trail with crushed limestone. But if they don't I will still be happy it's there.

Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail

Beautiful ride!

October, 2025 by cheecheeboo

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!

Holmes County Trail

Fredericksburg to Killbuck

October, 2025 by brianstinney

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.

Muskingum Recreational Trail

Paved the entire distance now

October, 2025 by bunhauler

The lower section below rock cut rd is now paved to Ellis Dam. There is also a section in town that goes by the river, it isn’t highlighted on the map, but the name is there if you zoom in.

Richland B&O Trail

Love this trail but …..

October, 2025 by iglooicing

Really love this trail. Mostly shaded and they have ground down the tree roots but could use more road markings and signage at road crossings. The electric bikes and scooters are really becoming a problem.
