Fremont to Bellevue section. Trail is flat and paved in good condition. Biked to Bellevue to lunch and back for a 25 mile round trip. Not much shade, goes through mostly farmlands. In the 12 miles from Fremont to Bellevue, 21 road crossings! Most of them there wasn't much traffic but you still had to stop, once you got going. In the past biked from Elmore to Fremont, found it to be more scenic.
We rode this trail, round trip, on 09/21/23. The weather was dry and in the low 70s. At this time of year, the trail is shaded enough to not be hot, very comfortable with shorts and a t-shirts.
The trail is fairly flat, being an old railroad, you'd expect that of course. There are several road crossings to negotiate, don't be in a hurry. Much of the trail has root damage, but that's been was ground down flat, so the ride is smoother. Some of the trail goes past industrial and commercial areas. Hills off in the distance are very scenic, it's good thing we didn't have to go up them!
There are several points along the way you can get on and off the trail, even stop for ice cream. Learn more about the trail at http://www.richlandbandotrail.com/
Drove down from Norwalk to ride this trail today and enjoyed it very much.
The trail is mostly really nice with great scenery along the entire thing. West of Norwalk, you will run into few issues, with the dip just to the West of the trailhead having some ruts due to runoff. Going East from Norwalk has some beautiful farmland, but you would be wise to keep an eye down at the trail itself. From ruts and potholes formed to attempts to fill these with sand, along with smelly evidence of horses, there are plenty of things that could quickly wreck your day if you aren't paying close attention. I've tried submitting a review previously, but maybe negative reviews are not authorized? Makes me wonder if any reviews are worth their salt on here honestly.
The trail path that you access from Academy Park is NOT a bike path…scenic? Sure! Bring your bike? Don’t waste your time…
This is my favorite and go-to bike trail in Columbus. Not too busy, numerous curves, varied scenery, numerous bridges, connects to Blacklick trail, goes by Easton and Franklin Park Conservatory areas, good mix of mostly shade and some open sun sections, it has a little bit of everything for a city bike trail that doesn't feel like you're in a big city.
Not too bad for being down town Columbus. A few spots were we saw some homeless folks. But no one gave any troubles.
Really enjoyed this trail nice and shaded by trees and really peaceful. Everyone were very freindly.
It is amazing here. I just rode here recently with our horses, and it was so nice! Definitely will come again soon!
This is a fantastic trail with lots of various sites to see. It’s very well kept, and I loved all the big wooden Bridges along the route. It ties into other trails in the Columbus area so there is much to explore on it. This trail is only 40 minutes from my house so I know I will be riding it a lot. Highly recommended.
I rode thirty-three and three quarter miles on an out-and-back ride on the Blacklick Creek Greenway Trail. The trail does follow along Blacklick Creek and a couple of others along the way but you don’t see much of the creek due to thick vegetation. For the most part you travel through a mixture of trees and open fields. But most of the fields are left in a thick natural prairie state. I started in Three Creeks Metro Park in Groveport just southeast of Columbus, Ohio. Heading east you will be able to enter Pickerington Ponds Metro Park in Canal Winchester and if you travel north you can reach Blacklick Woods Metro Park in Reynoldsburg. The northernmost part of the trail ends as it circles the athletic fields in John F. Kennedy Park in Reynoldsburg. The trail connects to the Alum Creek Greenway Trail which is another Columbus area greenway trail. Simply travel west on the Blacklick Creek Greenway out of Three Creeks Metro Park and you will start on the Alum Creek Greenway as soon as you cross the bridge over Big Walnut Creek. The trail is in good shape with some tree root uplift in some spots. Portions of the trail in Blacklick Woods Metro Park are not paved and consist of hard packed crushed limestone. Much of the trail is quite scenic, but in some areas of Reynoldsburg the trail parallels roads that appear to be some of the city's busier traffic arteries. Despite this, this is definitely a trail to check out.
