Rode the trail today (6/7/26) from Middlefield to Chardon. We saw 5 snapping turtles on the trail! Great day.
Parked at N Chestnut park, and proceeded to trail. It was closed going east to Peck Rd - there appeared to be work on the railroad tracks. Going west, there were closure signs on trail at Wall St and Red Brush Rd. We rode past Red Brush for about 1 mile when we saw trucks on path and workers cutting trees deep in the woods. Turned around disappointed. When I looked on this website, saw no information. The Portage County website had an alert about Towners Woods park to be closed til end of summer for upgrades to park. Bummer !
Comfortable accommodations in Burgettstown for bike travelers with indoor secure bike storage. Suitable for two. A comfy bed with hot showers they have a pullout sofa if travelers do not wish to share a bed. A very quaint distillery next-door for an evening nightcap, two breakfast spots within 50 yards of the front door. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven. They have five star reviews on Airbnb.
I biked this trail with a friend of mine who volunteered to clean out Lochs 7 and 8. This native Ohioan, who hails from Minerva, led my brother and I on a 36-mile round trip tour of this trail from Navarre, Ohio to the Dover Dam and back. The trail we traversed was mostly crushed stone or dirt, but it was exciting to witness firsthand the beautiful lochs revealed from our friend's tireless dedication. We would occasionally dodge a tree root or pothole on the trail along the canal, but it was doable. Not only did we pass over a bridge or under a tunnel, but we stopped for lunch as the most successful communal settlement in the United States!
The GAP trail was amazing. The nicely maintained 150 mile trail along the Pennsylvania mountains and rivers and then the descend into the Cumberland Valley was the best! We took it easy planning to only ride around 30 miles a day staying in Airbnb’s along the way. We rode it in 5 days and spend an extra day in Cumberland and did a 15 mile out and back along the C&O. We rented bikes ahead of time with the Golden triangle in Pittsburgh. they fitted the bikes out for us and provided a shuttle ride back to Pittsburgh for the bikes and us. We are looking forward to doing more trails in this area.
The Aurora Trail is a 2.8 mile trail that runs east out of Aurora, Ohio. The Aurora Trail currently runs from East Garfield Road (OH-82) to Chamberlain Rd. The trail opened at the end of June 2025. As you head east out of Aurora you will pass by a number of residential back yards, which during the summer are well hidden by trees and plant growth along the trail. You will also pass by a beaver pond, a fairly large lake, and cross over the Aurora Branch of the Chagrin River. There are two small farms which also back up to the trail. At Chamberlin Road you reach a small industrial area dominated by the Cantex plant.
The surface of the trail is asphalt. There is a nice gravel composite berm on both sides of the trail. This 2.8 mile trail is essentially straight. When it was paved the contractor put some wiggles in the right-of-way apparently to break up the visual straight lines created by the trail. Parking can be found at either end of the trail: in Aurora, at the Paddock River Preserve at 129 Trails End or at the eastern end of the trail at 11433 Chamberlin Road.
The future of this former Cleveland and Mahoning Railroad (Norfolk Southern) rail line is bright. The city of Aurora is planning to extend this trail northwest toward Geauga Lake where they are redeveloping former Midwest Sea World property into a public park called Aurora Park at Geauga Lake. The Portage County Parks District is currently extending the trail east from Chamberlin Road to Diagonal Road in 2026 and plans to complete an off-road connection to the Headwaters Trail in Mantua, Ohio by 2029. West of the planned Aurora Park at Geauga Lake, the City of Solon, Ohio plans on creating a Headwaters Connector Trail upon its portion this abandoned rail line that will run from its central business district to the future Aurora Trail extension. When all the trail building is complete the finished trail would run from Solon to Garrettsville, Ohio.
Trail is 21 miles in length and crushed limestone. Biked on a section of it, Spring 2026. The section I was on mostly through Farmlands. Parked at Bonniebrook. Saw the new painted mural at Marwood Road trailhead and parking.
Bike touring across tha US and I’m currently set in my hammock about 10 mils outside of frostbite head West! Gotta say that MD & PA has out done themselves on tha GAP! Wish other places “you kno who you are WV, yea you! Anyway, I love its backcountry vibe and tha fact that it’s well maintained! Hope tha rail to trail route gets done sooner rather than later and is maintained this well instead of corrupt politicians pocketing tha money! You kno who you are, you! Anyway, to tha hiker and biker trash out there, one love!
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
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!
04/04/2026.Great Savage Tunnel on the Great Allegheny Passage is open. Motion sensor lights to illuminate the tunnel. If you have bike lights, maybe use them inside the tunnel so other users can see your presence easier.
