Biking this trail did not disappoint! Shout out to Metroparks and Cuyahoga Valley National Park for maintaining and connecting the trail. We started at the Boston Mills Trailhead /Visitor Center and used the train in both directions…$5 and they did load our e-bikes. Scenic, charming, and good surface. Stayed at Richfield motel. Convenient.
We parked in Orwell, mile marker 2 of the Ashtabula County section, and biked South into Trumbull county and back. Had lunch at the Mexican restaurant steps away from the trail in Orwell. Then we biked North to Rock Creek and back. Total round trip 35 miles. Trail is flat in both directions, paved and basically as straight as an arrow. Most of this area of the trail is very well shaded. Came in handy on a hot Summer day. It appears the large boulder at the Ashtabula and Trumbull county lines is not there.
Evening race held every July, the dam race 5k. Runners and walkers can go across the dam. Bugs and gnats weren't too bad that evening. There definitely is an issue in Sharpsville with gnats and bugs, even in town where the plaza is as well as far away as the schools. Seems North of the dam it's not as buggy. Volunteers did mow along the last 1/2 mile of the trail in South Pymatuning Twp.
Continued rainy and hot weather has impeded some maintenance on the trail; although it is completely open for travel. Brush clearing will resume as conditions improve. Trail
Trail is completely open from Big Bend to Kidds Mill Park. Tow Path on the southern leg is clear. The Fishing Loop in the north is also clear; creating a 1.8+- loop Trail back to Kidds Mill trailhead.The
Great new connection to Portage Hike & Bike Trail. We parked at the new trailhead on Middlebury and biked West to Lions Park and back. Most of the trail is shaded. We went the other direction out of the parking lot and took the newly installed pedestrian/bike bridge and used the switchbacks down to the Portage Hike & Bike trail into Kent. Great trail, the bridge is awesome!
The west end of the Portage trail now connects to the Freedom Trail by a cascading path and a bridge.
The north end now connects to the Portage Bike & Hike trail. They added a bridge and a cascading trail. The south end is under construction and will eventually connect to the Ohio & Erie Trail in Akron, they did add an access trail to a road and you could connect the Ohio & Erie trail via this, need a good gps device, the existing trail is in good condition. homeless people
A gem of a trail from Royalton Rd to the Marina. I’d probably avoid during weekends or after work due to increased foot traffic. Smooth tarmac except for detour near Cedarpoint Rd bridge reconstruction but fun gravel.
Getting out and enjoying this nice newly built paved trail. We parked on Maple at the police station and headed Northwest to Leon road. There isn't much shade, goes through a few small/short wooded areas but mostly farmlands. Came back into Andover and navigated through town to connect to the Southern section. There is no set route through Andover, it's not that big of a town! We connected to Mill Street at the Car Wash on Main Street. Will say we waited at least 5 minutes to get the opportunity to cross with traffic. Hopped back on that trail at Mill St. and continued Southeast to Marvin Road. That section travels through wetlands and again mostly farmlands. Trail services in Andover: Grocery Store, gas stations, pizza shops, sub shop and ice cream stand.
We went for a quick family ride with grandkids last night. The trail had a large amount of tall grass on it that had mowed onto the path. The bugs were bad.
