Rode this trail on an early April evening. Beautiful, well-maintained trail was a pleasant surprise to find on my weekend away. The memorial to Ms. Nellis was lovely and touching.
Warmer weather has melted the snow. Mostly clear, with plenty of small tree detritus. Watch for 3 short stints (just a few yards each) of gravel at the north end. As usual, a bit of moss and plenty of root ridges - speed bumps ¿. Happy Trails.
We parked at the end of Astral road, though not a designated trailhead, there is a small parking lot for fisherman. This is approx 4.3 miles South of Franklin. A good bit of snow and ice still on the trail. Big ice chunks floating down the Allegheny (River). Sandy Creek jammed up with ice at the Belmar Bridge.
February 2026 hike. A good 6" of snow on the ground. Shenango River frozen due to multiple weeks of below freezing temperatures.
Beautiful sunny but cold Winter Day to get out and enjoy the trail. A good 8" of snow covering the trail. We parked in the small lot out on Trout Island Road and walked to the end and back.
February, 2026 we parked at the Belmar Bridge and went on a short walk. The parking lot at Belmar was somewhat plowed but luckily we had 4-WD otherwise I feel we would have been beached. Trail has very deep at least a foot of snow on it. Good conditions for snowshoeing. Surprisingly the Allegheny River was not frozen even though temps hadn't been above freezing for nearly 3 weeks. A nice walk out on the bridge.
Over a foot of snow fell during 2 days at the end of January. Snowshoed on the bike trail and off the trail on the hiking trails. Knee deep snow made it great for snowshoeing. Lake Wilhelm was frozen and there were ice fisherman out on the ice.
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.
