Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail

Best trail in Columbiana County.

August, 2025 by tswilliammee

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.

Stavich Bicycle Trail

Start in PA, not Ohio

August, 2025 by tswilliammee

The Ohio section of trail at this point is very rough, and not very scenic. The PA trailhead is well maintained, and more scenic.

Western Reserve Greenway

Orwell Trailhead

August, 2025 by vicki1960

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.

Allegheny River Trail

Emlenton to Rockland

August, 2025 by vicki1960

While in the area, we rode the Foxburg to Parker section, we drove to nearby Emlenton and biked from there to Rockland (tunnel) and back. There is a missing link of trail between Foxburg and Emlenton that has been under development for a few years and they are getting closer but not as of yet. This entire trail section is 27.5 miles in length, flat and paved. Some rooty sections but to be expected with all the shade you will get in return. We did not ride the tunnels due to we forgot our lights. A nice day on the trail enjoying the shade and views of the Allegheny River. Trail services in Emlenton a pizza shop, ice cream shop, Dollar store and convenience store.

Allegheny River Trail

Foxburg to Parker

August, 2025 by vicki1960

Foxburg to Parker detached section is paved and 2.5 miles in length. Parking at each end. This section is very well shaded, trail conditions: a few roots sprouting up in the asphalt. Trail services in Foxburg include places to eat. Trail services in Parker which is a commute by road across the bridge, there is a place to eat. Enjoy the shade!

Moraine State Park Bike Trail

Nice ride along the lake. But a few bumps on the trail. Needs small repairs

August, 2025 by freddoodles

John C. Oliver Multi-Purpose Loop Trail

Summer 2025 well shaded

July, 2025 by vicki1960

This trail is paved and encircles Lake Wilhelm within the Maurice K. Goddard State Park. Rolling Pennsylvania terrain and plentiful shade makes this trail great fun in the hot Summer months. Stay for the day at this park and enjoy boating and kayaking, fishing, picnic areas and a children's playground. The new Marina/Snack Shop is opened having been rebuilt 2024/2025.

Allegheny River Trail

Always a great ride

July, 2025 by vicki1960

Franklin to Brandon and back, always an enjoyable ride on this trail. Beautiful views of the Allegheny River. Water levels are down from last month when we had so much rain. Trail gates recently painted look great!

Armstrong Trails

Brady Tunnel Open, Trail Closure at Mahoning, Great Trail

July, 2025 by vicki1960

The Brady Tunnel opened Fall 2024 following renovation. Very dark inside (due to its doors) so you need a light. Trail closure at mile marker 55 at Mahoning Creek (since April 2025) You can detour by using nearby road, road bridge and grass path to reconnect to the trail. We parked at the Redbank trailhead on Redbank Road, just past St. Marys Redbank church. This is the intersection of Redbank Tr mile 0 and the Armstrong Tr approx mile 63. Trail surface is crushed limestone. Some of it very well packed down, some of it washed away leaving nothing but packed dirt, and some of the trail is double tracked. We didn't have any trouble on our hybrids. We went South to Mahoning and turned around and up to the Brady Tunnel passing the Redbank Coaling Tower. We went though the tunnel and continued approx 5 miles through the Sarah Furnace area. We also went towards East Brady passed the Phillipston turntable. Nearest trail services are in East Brady, otherwise you're on your own. Trail mostly shaded, follows the Allegheny River. Very peaceful., scenic and historic. See photos. Our next plan is to ride another segment of the trail.

Allegheny River Trail

7.28.25

July, 2025 by cherbini

We biked from Emlenton northerly for just under an hour. Going through the tunnel was cool. Make sure you have a light. A little bumpy due to tree roots bulging the pavement but really enjoyed it. Follows the river. Saw deer and rabbits.

Portage Hike and Bike Trail

Connects with Freedom Trail

July, 2025 by vicki1960

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.

Trout Island Trail

Dam Race 5k

July, 2025 by vicki1960

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.
