Rode this trail from Johnstown to Granville and loved it. Well paved and not at all dangerous. Beautiful scenery and mostly covered by the canopy of shady trees. My advice is take it east to west. The return trip will me much easier.

Granville: River Road Coffee Shop, Knuckleheads Ice Cream and sandwiches, bathrooms inside the IGA grocery store right off the path by the old train station. Lots of restaurants on Main Street in town. Alexandria: Ragamuffins Coffee Shop is open til 4:30pm (sandwiches, cookies) diagonal from Freedom Bikes

If you do the entire trail, it's worth noting it's easier to go north to south than the opposite because of hills.

The trail is paved and has a canopy of trees for most of the way. Once you get to mount Vernon there is a very good BBQ truck attached to the Happy Street brewery. It’s a great place to stop.

What part of trail is ballast? We have rode the Kokosing many times, now looking to go further south

Rode this trail last weekend. We saw numerous chipmunks & 2 bald eagles. We’ll be back in the fall.

The trail is narrow with steep drop-offs on both sides -- very dangerous. As others have noted, the trail needs paving maintenance and cutting lots of weeds, trees, and grass. There are too many other trails that are much nicer. Scenery is pleasant, but its tough to enjoy it.

Very nice trail. It is very busy, but scenery is nice. Not totally flat but, but no big hills in the part we were on.

Rode the Alum Creek Trail from Three Creeks Park to Bexley and back to Three Creeks. Trail was in great shape and very enjoyable. Hope to ride it again this year and go further.
