We parked at Kirk Road and biked to the Mahoning/Trumbull County line and picked up the Niles Bikeway into Niles for additional miles. MetroParks Bikeway has been repaved within the past few years, surface good. Not a whole lot of shade though. There is a bike rental at the Kirk Road trailhead. Also sells bottled water. We headed towards Canfield on the trail in the opposite direction. Great trail!
We biked on this trail coming seamlessly off the Metro Parks trail. This trail begins at Countyline....the Mahoning and Trumbull County lines. Trail is asphalt paved in good condition. One busy road crossing just below Meander Reservoir. At the Niles trailhead the trail extends 2/10 of a mile over at least one bridge. Eventually it will connect with the Western Reserve Trail in Warren.
Group ride. We parked in Franklin and biked South to Sunnyslope for 12.5 miles and back. This is the best section of the trail since everything from Kennerdell tunnel and South is like a washboard. 3.25 miles South of Franklin there is a hillside erosion and caution tape, since April 2026. Follow along the trail and go through the grass.
Nice smooth, basically flat trail. Many benches to take a break if needed.
We parked in Orwell and biked South to Bristolville and turned around. Then back to Orwell for lunch at the Mexican restaurant along the trail. Great food and service with outdoor seating. They will also fill your water bottles with water and ice. After lunch we headed North to Rock Spring. Total 36 miles round trip. This trail is virtually flat as well as straight. Most of it is very well shaded. Trail in very good paved condition though between Oakfield and Bristol a stretch about 1/10 of a mile with some kind of speed bumps every 20 feet. We are not sure what the purpose of that is, they are marked with paint. If you can just overlook that, the rest of the trail is super!
We went on a pleasant, mostly cloudy day in August. Went from mile 58 to 46 and back. This section is a very nice, mostly rural/woods trail. The surface (crushed limestone) is generally good; the trail is sometimes as wide as a car lane, sometimes narrows down considerably (mostly due to the edges are not in as good shape as the middle). It does cross roads in spots, but most are not busy. I'd say 70% of it is in the shade, with some sections in the sun (but most sun sections are not long, so this would be a good trail for a hot day). Kane has a surprisingly large downtown, with quite a few restaurants (the Table 105 restaurant is quite good). The scenery is not spectacular (no dramatic waterfalls or cliffs) but beautiful woods with lots of large trees and pleasant fields. It was not very crowded when we went.
We loved the trail for it being well maintained and for the asphalt however there are a few parts of the trail where the road must be shared with autos. It could use a little better signage for the mid point turn back/surrey direction intersection as well as where to go at the monument area.
Nice community trail that links to a beautiful park for kids. Nice ride if you’re in the neighborhood.
Trail is opened there are no closures at the utility pipeline construction site. Mile marker 2. All clear! July, 2026.
This trail is full of curves and gentle hills. And absolute good time to ride. An electric bike with assist is recommended.
Before the Canadian wildfire smoke got worse, we ventured out for a morning ride. Air quality bad but not "as bad" as it got. Hazy skies and the slight smell of burned plastic. The well shaded trail filtered out a lot of it. Trail closure at the 2 mile mark. 1 mile from the Beans trailhead. They have been working on a pipeline near the trail which you could see from the trail and the trail had been open. But now they are working under the trail and there is no way to get around the construction so it's fenced off. Not sure how long they will be working in that spot. In the meantime the remainder of the trail is open.
