Love using this trail when I wan to ride from Youngstown to Warren. So peaceful, quiet and safe to use.
One of the most cleanest and excellent trails that I've rode so far since riding bike again.
Nice trail. Mostly shaded. A little narrow for bikes but not bad. Smooth and well maintained. You have to cut through Quail Hollow to get to the other part of the trail.
If you start at the depot trailhead, you can now ride 7 miles out to Coal Bank road! It is a beautifully paved trail!
Started at Swine Creek where there’s a smelly pit toilet where you can change lol. Nicely paved and maintained trail, just a few bumps, mostly at the Chardon end. Only water fountains seem to be around Chardon as well, so take plenty with you. Return trip seemed to go a little easier but not much elevation change overall, other than some serious hills (both ways) during the portion paralleling Route 44 near the northern end of the trail. For some reason the trail is not quite as well marked when you’re going south, at least through Middlefield and especially the on-road section back to Swine Creek; didn’t have any problem going north.
Starting at the south end, initially I was disappointed at the lack of any historical signage, these are always a big plus for me; around Chardon however there are quite a few railroad history markers, so that made up for it. And I’m probably an outlier here, but even though the faux covered bridges are cute, it almost seems like the trail designers tried to erase most vestiges of the trail’s railroading past; other than the very informative markers in Chardon, practically no railroading evidence exists, but then I’m a bit of a train nerd. Scenery was very pleasant, with the trail length and nice surface (and lotsa nearby breweries, taverns, and overall quaint towns all over this part of the state), could be considered a destination trail.
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!
We biked from mile 0 at the Trumbull/Ashtabula county line to Austinburg and back. Passed through Orwell and had lunch. Trail very well shaded and in good condition but a few root liftings in the asphalt but not a deal breaker. Enjoyed our stop in Austinburg but saddened to see that Shannon's mini mart is now closed since the owners retired after almost 20 years there.
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 ¿.
We travel almost 2 hours to get to this trail and worth the drive. One of Ohio's nicest trails. Asphalt paved in very good condition, pretty scenery, well maintained by Geauga County Parks, numerous benches along the route, grass cut, trash cans emptied and nice restrooms. There are 5 covered bridges along the trail. Most of the trail is full sun so make sure you slather up with sunscreen on a sunny day. We parked at Headwaters Park and biked up to Chardon for lunch and back. Then biked down to Middlefield. Total miles 30 round trip. Was sad to see the fountain at the Middlefield end of the trail was not working and the trellis removed and no hanging flower baskets.
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 parked at Kirk Road and biked to the Mahoning/Trumbull County line and picked up the Niles Bikeway into Niles for additional miles. MetroParks Bikeway has been repaved within the past few years, surface good. Not a whole lot of shade though. There is a bike rental at the Kirk Road trailhead. Also sells bottled water. We headed towards Canfield on the trail in the opposite direction. Great trail!
