Getting out and enjoying this nice newly built paved trail. We parked on Maple at the police station and headed Northwest to Leon road. There isn't much shade, goes through a few small/short wooded areas but mostly farmlands. Came back into Andover and navigated through town to connect to the Southern section. There is no set route through Andover, it's not that big of a town! We connected to Mill Street at the Car Wash on Main Street. Will say we waited at least 5 minutes to get the opportunity to cross with traffic. Hopped back on that trail at Mill St. and continued Southeast to Marvin Road. That section travels through wetlands and again mostly farmlands. Trail services in Andover: Grocery Store, gas stations, pizza shops, sub shop and ice cream stand.
Parked at Belmar and biked down (literally) to Fishermans Cove and back then up to Van and returned back at Belmar. Trail is mostly shaded. Several wooded bridges along the trail crossing Sandy Creek, they seem to be showing their age with some loose boards. Mays Mill tunnel short, do not need a light. Coasting back from Van is a breeze! Sandy Creek and Allegheny River water levels low. Saw one doe and fawn.
We went for a quick family ride with grandkids last night. The trail had a large amount of tall grass on it that had mowed onto the path. The bugs were bad.
Decent trail in PA. Ohio needs some work. They are replacing the section in lowellville
This trail goes through state game lands, is mostly shady and parallels an active railway. The active railway portion has some deep mudholes. It would be wise to start at Ridgeway as it is uphill to Brockway.
A shady path for a heat intensive day!
Started at Kane. The trail was unmaintained after mile 4.7. I then went to the Kinzua bridge state park and rode to 219. A nice trail
Surprised to find the closure over the Mahoning Creek just north of Templeton. Looks like it has been that way for a while despite a recent review not mentioning it. No detour posted.
Beautiful ride into Brandon and back. Path is paved and maintained.
On a hot summer day, this is the trail to ride! Miles and miles of nothing but shade. Always an enjoyable ride on this trail. Follows French Creek which was muddy and high levels of water due to so much recent rains. Saw a hawk along the trail. And a turtle down near the Beans trailhead.
Rode this trail over two days and found it to be pleasant and well maintained. There is not a lot of supply options along the trail so bring what you need. Uphill from Freeport to Cabot and downhill into Butler. The last mile or so into Butler could use some attention. I would recommend this trail.
Pymatuning Valley Greenway Trail: Great little trail in Andover. We parked at the police station (they offer about 10 spots worth) and headed Northwest to Leon Road. Trail is flat and asphalt paved and pavement is very smooth since it's so new! This section is about 3.5 miles in length. Some wooded offering shade but most of it is through open farmlands. Parking at the Leon Road end for approx 20 cars. Great new pristine trail. The section that runs Southeast out of Andover is a little less than 2 miles in length. You can connect the two on your own navigating though the Village of Andover, there's a few block gap. This trail is maintained by Ashtabula Metroparks. It's been under development for a few years and happy that it's open and operational. While in the area head on over to PA and visit the Pymatuning Spillway Trail and feed the fish at the spillway. Trail services in Andover: Ice Cream, Food, Convenience Store, Pizza place and grocery store.
