January-2026. We hiked on the section through the game lands towards Conneaut Lake. Several inches of snow on the ground. Trail is flat at wide. In the Winter, with snow, good for hiking, XC skiing or snowshoeing. We parked in the game lands parking lot near the kayak launch.
When in the Greenville area I use this trail for walking. I know many locals from the Greenville area that use this trail on a regular basis. They said it's wonderful to be able to walk or run and not worry about road traffic. Trail goes from Main street North to Porter Road. Off the trail there is a 1/4 mile spur to Riverside Park. The crushed limestone trail follows the Shenango River. At Porter road, though no parking is available, there is an access to the river down a short path.
Frigid blustery day to visit the park and trail. Several miles of the trail on the bay side were plowed by park personnel. Saw one cyclist using it. Several walkers. Park roads were snow covered. The sections of the trail that were not plowed had a good foot of snow on them, great for XC skiing. Plenty of hiking trails in the park good for hiking or snowshoeing. Ice in the trees on the bay side, some areas of the lake were frozen over though not thick enough for ice fishing. Horseshoe pond where the "houseboats" are was frozen though not sure how thick. The lake side of the peninsula ice was forming into ice dunes. Snow drifted over the trail on that side. A beautiful trail and park to visit year around.
Early November 2025. Fall foliage starting to fade but still a beautiful ride. Saw a few deer and the turtles were out on the log in the pond at the Beans trailhead end of the trail, near Home Depot.
Nice trail offering a connection from Oil Creek State Park into Titusville. Goes along Oil Creek on one side and sporting events fields on the other side. In Titusville you will find many amenities including places to eat, breweries, small shops in town, and a hotel.
Enjoyable Fall foliage bike ride through the park. Started in Petroleum Centre and pedaled up to Jersey Bridge. From there we connected to the Queen City Trail and also visited Drake Well, the site of the first oil well in 1859. This trail is paved in very good condition with a few rough spots. Follows Oil Creek, water levels very low and some areas of the creek are just all rocks. Park office is closed weekends (it's off season) but there are composting restrooms across the road. Up at the Jersey Bridge end is a plastic restroom, seasonal.
Enjoyed another very nice ride on this trail. Though the entire length is nearly 12 miles long, the section to the East of Route 19 is paved and very nice. We get in some good miles by going back and forth. Leaves are only beginning to change, early October.
Though roughly 2.5ish miles in length, the trail is always enjoyable to be on. This time of the year it's not real buggy. Trail is paved and in decent condition. The posts at the end of the trail have recently been painted by a member of Mercer County Trails Association.
Beautiful location and well maintained. Easy ride and not crowded when I went in September.
This trail is not scenic for most of the trail. The trail is hard to follow and I had to refer to maps several times. The trail is all paved but there is a considerable amount of debris on it from the adjacent highway. The trail should continue to Presqu Trail but falls short Severl busy intersections to cross and not the best area to travel in the afternoon as there were several unsavory person panhandling, moving scarp, and unchained dogs running.
Went from Nth River Road to Orwell. Ate at the Homestead Diner just east of the trail on Route 322. Amish Cooking. Excellent. Have a slice of the pumpkin pie. The bridge is no longer out.
