Wow! We had no idea the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) would be so memorable. If you’re looking for a multi-day tour with a variety of landscapes, long stretches of trail riding, some great trail towns, urban riding through major cities, and some quiet pedaling through Amish country, then this is a trip for you. The OTET website offers plenty of itinerary options, and the OTET Facebook group has a lot of helpful folks and information. We did an 8 day, credit card tour. We had memorable stays at the London Guest House, the Mount Vernon Inn and the Hotel Millersburg. Our favorite eateries were Red Brick Tavern, Lola’s in Cedarville and Miller’s Creamery in Millersburg. We rate this right behind the GAP on our favorite tours. Highly recommended.
10/9 trail still closed at this intersection. About 2miles north of Lexington. Beautiful ride from Lexington to Butler! Good lunch at Whiffletree Restaurant in Butler.
We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
Was a nice ride on crushed limestone parts. There were parts that were under construction that were pretty rough. No bathrooms. Benches along the way. We still enjoyed the wild flowers and butterflies ¿.
Rode west toward Brinkhaven. The first 4 miles are very uphill. Got to the crest, saw it was downhill, and decided to turn back rather than having to repeat an uphill climb on the return trip. Then rode east til the off road trail ended ( about 4 miles ). Level path, much better, and called it a day ! Lots of e-bike riders in the parking lot.
Don't know how far past it is closed. Parked in Butler and rode to MM 10. Slight uphill going north. The next day parked in Lexington, and planned on riding to Mansfield. But came to the trail closure, repairing an adjacent road bridge. May have been a nice ride . . .
We really enjoyed this trail. It checked all the boxes for me!! It was mostly shady with trees/woods lining most of the trail, benches to rest, flat, no hills, 14 total miles, lovely scenery, a train track running along side, and a small town at the end of the trail head to shop or eat. Even though it had rough gravel in spots, knowing it is still being worked on, I give it a 5/5. When the trail is completed I think it will be near perfect. We started in Greenwich and ended in New London. We rode around town and found the beautiful New London Recreation Park at 2 Blake St. We had a nice picnic and the park had very clean bathrooms. A horse arena was built there in 2025, and as our extra bonus, they happened to be having an event that day. I love riding bikes, but sometimes the best part of the trails are the surprises you'll find along the way,
We biked from Glenmont to Brinkhaven. Coming out of Glenmont it's a 3 1/2 mile uphill climb to Baddow Pass. Then 4 miles downhill the other side where it levels off before going under Route 62. We stayed on the trail to connect seamlessly to the Mohican Valley Trail. Pan Ohio Hope American Cancer Society was having their annual ride that day and we saw some riders. The trail is in very good paved condition.
We accessed this trail from the Holmes County line. Seamless connection onto the Mohican Valley Trail at the Knox County line in Brinkhaven. Surface is paved in good condition. Trail is shared with Amish horse & buggy's. This is a great connection between the Holmes County Trail and the Kokosing Gap trail in Danville.
This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Parked in Danville and biked over to Mt Vernon. Had lunch at Southside Diner. Walked up into Mt Vernon and visited some shops. Grand Hotel is beautiful. Trail was paved. Mostly flat. A bit downhill on the return trip. Lots to see and beautiful scenery!
