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.
Nice, well maintained trail. The section from Lisbon to Teegarden is especially beautiful, although there is a bushier section that is on road, albeit a less traveled back road. A short detour at Teegarden will take you to a covered bridge.
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.
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.
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.
We cycled the trail in its entirety located in Wayne & Stark Counties. Trail is mostly wooded providing a good bit of shade and also scenery of open fields/farmlands. Surface switches between crushed limestone to asphalt pavement. Some of the limestone was loose and other areas down to the dirt. Trail has many short bridges along it's 10 mile length. Very clean trail, zero trash and grass was cut. Dalton end of the trail you take streets into town. Massillon end is under a bridge. We ate a place near the trail on Bison Street which had sandwiches and cold drinks. Clean establishment with friendly service as well.
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
