Solon to Chagrin Falls Trail

The Tale of Two Trails

May, 2026 by orangedoug

The Solon to Chagrin Falls Trail is a trail being developed between these two communities in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The trail is being developed by the Cleveland Metroparks over a former Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad corridor. Currently, the trail consists of two separate segments: the Solon section and the Chagrin Falls section. What separates them is the Aurora Branch of the Chagrin River. The 1500 foot gap through the Chagrin River floodplain needs to be bridged in order to connect these two sections.

The Solon section opened in October of 2025. It runs eastward from SOM Center Road (OH-91), passing under US-422, crossing Liberty Road and descends into the Chagrin River floodplain between the Dear Run and Glasgow Lane cul-de-sacs. This portion of the trail is a 10 foot wide, paved trail.

The Chagrin Falls section had been open and maintained by the Cleveland Metroparks for quite some time. It starts at Pine Street near the Greenville Inn and heads southwest through the Chagrin Falls Park Community and Bentleyville. It is paved from Pine Street to Rocker Avenue, then changes to gravel and/or grass surface. At South Franklin Street you will find a trail connection to the Geauga County Park District’s Holbrook Hollows Park and access to nearby Franklin Marsh. The Chagrin Falls section of the trail currently ends at Chagrin River Road. Beyond Chagrin River Road you enter into the Chagrin River floodplain gap.

Once Cleveland Metroparks constructs a bridge through the floodplain the two trail segments will be connected. Hopefully, at that point the Chagrin section of the trail will also be paved in its entirety. Deer, birds and other wildlife can be found in abundance between Solon's Liberty Road and Chagrin's South Franklin Street as this area does not have much residential or commercial development.

Pyamunting Valley Greenway

A Great Start to What Will Become a Great Trail

May, 2026 by orangedoug

The Pymatuning Valley Greenway is a developing rail trail being built in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Currently, the trail is centered around the village of Andover, Ohio. One portion of the trail runs northeast from the Village Hall on Maple Street to its current end, a trailhead located on Leon Road in Richmond Township. This paved trail is in excellent shape and runs through both woods and open farm fields. I really enjoyed riding this portion of the trail.

The other portion of the trail runs southwesterly from Mill Street to Marvin Road. As of the time of this posting TrailLink implies that you connect to this section of the trail by following an on-street route through town along Maple and Depot Streets. This implies taking the most direct route using N. Main Street (US-6) between Maple and Depot Streets. I would suggest otherwise. From my observation this street is heavily trafficked. There is little, to no berm, and it was obvious that a good number of commercial trucks use this route. My suggestion would be to use residential streets to reach a place to cross US-6. Travel away from N. Main on Maple Street, take a left on Gates Street and another left onto Hickory Street. Cross over N. Main St. at the end of Hickory. Then ride the sidewalk half a block until you reach Depot St. Follow Depot Street which will become Mill Street after you cross over E. Main Street (OH-85). The trailhead will be further down on Mill Street.

The southwest section of the Pymatuning Valley Trail is mostly shaded and runs by the Andover Golf Course, a pond, and one working farm on its way to its current end at Marvin Road. When the trail is extended beyond Marvin Road it will provide access to Ohio and Pennsylvania state parks on the Pymatuning Reservoir. This appears to be the area of the next phases of the trail’s construction. Connecting the trail to the reservoir will definitely increase the trail’s utility and popularity. I look forward to riding this trail again in the future.


Samuel Justus Recreation Trail

Beautiful Trail

April, 2026 by katie4nny

Rode this trail on an early April evening. Beautiful, well-maintained trail was a pleasant surprise to find on my weekend away. The memorial to Ms. Nellis was lovely and touching.

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!

Great trail that is paved. Very nice views of Pymatuming Lake. Would definitely ride again.

South Chagrin Reservation All Purpose Trail

Nice trail!

March, 2026 by aabbkid

Smooth asphalt trail that mostly runs next to roadways, and connects to the Bedford Reservation trail to the west. No doubt it is hilly, but that also makes it challenging and fun. I often take it from Chagrin Falls to Bedford, where i can connect with the mostly flat Hike and Bike trail at Alexander Road, and then go into Summit and Portage counties. That allows me to ride a total of 65-70 miles (out and back). The only downside is that the trail crosses roads that can be busy, forcing you to wait.

Aurora Trail

Nice quiet trail

March, 2026 by brentandlynn

We live not too far from this trail and like to bring our dog along for a nice walk. The trail is flat and new asphalt pavement is easy to walk. Nice local trail.

Allegheny River Trail

February Walk

February, 2026 by vicki1960

We parked at the end of Astral road, though not a designated trailhead, there is a small parking lot for fisherman. This is approx 4.3 miles South of Franklin. A good bit of snow and ice still on the trail. Big ice chunks floating down the Allegheny (River). Sandy Creek jammed up with ice at the Belmar Bridge.

Shenango Trail

Winter Hike

February, 2026 by vicki1960

February 2026 hike. A good 6" of snow on the ground. Shenango River frozen due to multiple weeks of below freezing temperatures.

Trout Island Trail

Northern End Walk

February, 2026 by vicki1960

Beautiful sunny but cold Winter Day to get out and enjoy the trail. A good 8" of snow covering the trail. We parked in the small lot out on Trout Island Road and walked to the end and back.
