Road this trail from Dalton to Messner RD in Massillon on Mother’s Day. I hacked this trail two years ago and you can tell there hasn’t been much maintenance done. The paved area was bumpy. The graveled area was much smoother. Caution at the bridges because the steel plates are rough at the transition from trail to bridge. I find the foot traffic is low on the paved area. No foot traffic when you get to the gravel section. Everyone is friendly on the path and the views are outstanding. Saw a few squirrels and one ground hog. The shaded tree area by the creek is so relaxing. No trash along the trail, so it’s nice to see users are helping keeping it clean.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
This trail has really gone down hill. Rode it the other day and my wrist hurt for days because of how rough it is. Used to be my favorite trail now it’s barely rideable.
Great scenic country trail. Paved the whole way and no incline.
Great trail to downtown wadsworth. Would love to see it extended!
Rode the trail on 3/8/25 and it has fallen into disrepair the path is littered with debris, the rail between the trail and the cliff is broken with many sections heavily damaged, some parts of the trail surface is beginning to breakup and slide down the hillside. The city of Cleveland has responsibility for the maintenance of this trail according to our council woman but the city has neglected this critical pathway to the lower section of the towpath.
My family likes to ride this trail together - it is quiet, generally quite well maintained (although can occasionally get a bit muddy in the spring) and is relatively flat and approachable for the family. This was a great find!
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
Not sure what the September reviews are talking about. Rode this trail today from route 97 to Mansfield and back, for 21 miles. We had no scary issues. A few bumps. Awesome crisp fall day. The fences were in place to protect from going into a deep ravines. We would ride this trail again. Not on a Sunday because the nearby Der Dutchman restaurant was closed. ¿
Started at the beginning of the trail in Bellevue and rode to the end in Genoa. Round trip was 68.5 miles, so each way about 34 miles. This is a great trail - flat and smooth, with minimal uprooting. Two things to mention: 1. There are several road crossings, and 2. Have to ride on streets in one of the passing towns (route signs are visible, though).
What a beautiful trail and obviously loved and taken care of by the community. Smooth paving, beautiful scenery, gorgeous covered bridges and benches and washrooms along the way. What a gem! So glad we rode!
