I parked at the school close to US 40 and rode the trail out and back in June. It passed farmland on the southern end and residential and businesses on the northern end, crossing several bridges and some streets. The trail was in fairly good shape. There is a bike fix-it station by the historic National Road Station. There are no restroom/port a pots available. I would encourage the park to put at least a port a pot near the southern end, but maybe it has been tried. A good trail for the area and probably a good training trail since there is a high school at each end.
I took the trail during the last week in August, starting at the west end. It was trashy under the first bridge just at the beginning, but otherwise the trail was fine. I didn't have any problem seeing the chain link fence.
Views of the Basket Building are best going west, especially when even with the white-roofed greenhouses. Longaberger Basket closed in 2018 and it is now empty.
I could not find the parking lot on the west end as mentioned when I was on the corner of E Main St and S Morris St. I ended up parking at the St Vincent De Paul Thrift Store with permission. If one is going to do the whole route, there is better and obvious parking about midway at Marne and Licking Valley Rd NE as mentioned by others. There is a bike fix-it station less than a minute's ride from that parking lot at the trail side of the church. This would be a good place for a port a pot, since there are no restrooms along the way. The east end doesn't have parking either where the trail just ends.
There are a couple fast food restaurants and a convenience store off the path a couple miles from the west end. Some are at the bottom of a hill, so keep in mind you have to go back up the hill to get on the trail again.
Overall a good trail for the area.
We are traveling and today was the only day we had to ride the trail. We entered at the Rockside Station and rode south. About 4 miles in, it started to rain off and on. We were sad because the forecast said 0% chance. Rode on for another few miles. By this time my husband's back was covered in mud from the wet trail and he was chilly, so we turned around and headed back. Total miles ridden was 17, so we only got a small portion but we loved it. So beautiful with yellow wildflowers all around. Informative historical signs tell you about the Erie Canal and life on the canal. Neat. I wish we could have ridden the train and then biked back, but we found out it doesn't run on Monday and Tuesday, and guess when we were here, yup Monday and Tuesday. If we are ever back in the area we would definitely ride it again!
Nice trail close to home for us. On nice days we bike the trail to town, ending near water tower, stop and get a bite to eat and ride back to Cenfield. Pleasant and always see wildlife.
I am thankful for the reviews as I was able to ride the grassy section to add a few miles. I did the county line trail before this one, between the two I managed to do 20 miles with a 7 mile car ride between the trails. Maybe I will live long enough to see and ride the completion of this trail system.
We biked this trail along the section which runs through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. First we took advantage of the Explorer Program offered by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. For $5 you can purchase a one-way ticket, load your bike and take the train to one of the stations then bike riding back. The train was nice and air conditioned. No need to make reservations, purchase the $5 ticket when you board. They have bike restrictions (bike weight) so visit their website for all the information including the schedule. www.cvsr.org
We ate lunch in Peninsula. Eddys bike shop in Peninsula burned to the ground over the Winter they are now operating out of a cement block garage offering bike rentals. There is a farm market along the trail to check out. The trail is mostly crushed limestone with a few paved sections and boardwalks. So many old locks and remnants of the canal. There is an ice cream shop at Boston Mills. Most of the trail is well shaded. Train stations along the way, and some public restrooms but not necessarily at the train stations. All around great way to spend the day! Take the train and you can bike back as little as a few miles or up to 22.
The trail itself was in good shape, fairly smooth not a lot of bumps. About 75% of the ride was shaded. It would be pretty in the fall when the leaves change colors. Major complaint is the amount of horse poop on the trail. And because most of the trail being shaped it was hard to avoid. Washed my bike when I got home. Kokosing Gap trail and Holmes County Trail are much better rides.
As noted, this trail is in the second phase of three, so expect it to be under construction. The third phase will be making the trail under the overpass to eliminate going on the road for that short time.
I started at the trailhead in Greenwich. The parking lot and about .2 mile is gravel, but then it turns to crush stone (crushed limestone or cinder???). That was very flat and smooth. It lasted about a mile until the trail crossed Alpha Rd. The surface was then gravel and dirt, the worse part was closer to the overpass. After a short zig-zag on roads to get across Rt 250 and Vermilion River, the trail continued. The total length of the gravel and dirt section was about 4 miles. The final 2 miles going into New London was crushed stone again. The trail head in New London was paved with cement. No restrooms were at either trail head. It took me about 40 minutes in each direction. It is true that some places were rougher than others, but I was still rolling at 12-13.5 mph. On the limestone sections, I was cruising at 13.5-15.5 mph. The trail is lined with trees and fairly straight, since it was a railroad track in the past. It also crosses a few roads.
The trail does run alongside, but doesn't cross, an active railroad track.
A few benches are located on the crushed stone sections.
Eateries and shops are within maybe a half a mile from the New London trail head, and within a mile or so from the Greenwich trail head.
The trail has improved since I was last rode it in September of 2023, when it was all gravel, and much rougher. For those who like smooth asphalt, parts will be rough. For those who like single track on dirt over roots and rocks, probably won't think that it is bad. Wider tires are recommended. Mine were 35.
Enjoy the ride and remember that it is a work in progress.
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.
Detours on road but not busy as is in the country. Love the flat paved trail 10/10
We accessed this trail at Middlebury Road in Kent at the new trailhead. We also rode the Freedom Trail. Newly constructed shared parking lot on Middlebury Road for both trails. We took the new pedestrian bridge and switchbacks to connect the two trails. 1324 Middlebury Road GPS addr.
This trail is nicely paved and scenic.
