Great American Rail-Trail

such a beautiful trail!

October, 2024 by sherryschie

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

Oak Creek Trail

Great Trail

October, 2024 by diane.gleaves

The trail was completely open and well maintained. Well worth the 40 minute drive from Two Rivers State Park where we were camping!

Field Club Trail

Nice walk

September, 2024 by mreese49

Mostly wooded with few road crossings. Storm damage has been cleared. Very pleasant walk from north end on Leavenworth to Vinton Street. Mostly walkers and a couple bikers. Some benches.

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.

Murdock Trail

OK Trail

July, 2024 by adsaxs

We are RVers and were staying at the Sandhills Global Event Center at North 84th and Fremont. The Murdock Trail was right behind the event center so we decided to take a ride. There is an entrance to the trail from the west campground. We have hybrid bikes.

We headed west on the trail. The first section of the trail from the event center to the 84th Street overpass was limestone surface. Some of the surface was fine but there were sections that were deeply rutted, muddy and deep limestone to the point of being annoying and unsafe if cycling too fast. As we continued on the surface improved.

We continued on and connected to the John Dietrich Bikeway.

Overall, the Murdock Trail was OK; nothing special. Flat, partially shaded, through residential and industrial areas but it was good to get out and enjoy the sunny day.

Antelope Creek Trail

Pleasant trail

May, 2024 by ksteen1

Nice for biking and walking. Passes by a playground and some scenic woodsy areas as well as some residential. Not a very challenging trail in terms of hills.

MoPac Trail (Springfield)

The pipe after the Platte River bridge is bent.

May, 2024 by linda_03

The guard pipe on the south side of the Platte bridge is bent. This narrows the distance between the top of the Guard pipes. It wasn’t enough space for my bicycle handlebars to fit through and so I crashed. I know you don’t want motorized vehicles on the bridge, but the pipes are too tall and interfere with bicycle handlebars, especially when one of them is bent inward. Why can’t the top of the bars be about 10 inches lower? Thank you

Wabash Trace Nature Trail

Lots a twigs but overall great

April, 2024 by aeboe

Shenandoah to Malvern. We rode in significant wind (35 mph gusts). We could feel it in the openings and braced for it, but protected by the trees otherwise. Lots of twigs down and one tree down. Had to be mindful of what you were riding over. Surface otherwise was really nice. We were the only riders on the trail in April.

144th Street Trail

meh…frequent rider, wouldn’t go out of my way for it though

April, 2024 by hbwjwjtrhj

It’s just riding a bike through a city. And not even a scenic, aesthetically pleasing city. Just a bunch of fast food restaurants, neighborhood developments, some schools, strip malls and lakes on each end. If that’s your thing, then ride the whole trail. Personally, I will ride parts of it frequently because it’s convenient and close to home. But it’s not a great trail, more just a bike path along a major road.

Wehrspann Lake Trail

Fun ride to start with

April, 2024 by hbwjwjtrhj

Good for a beginner. I just started riding regularly and this was a good challenge. Has just enough hill climbing to challenge yourself and it also helps you learn how to pace yourself. The path is wide and smooth, has some fun tight turns at the beginning, and spots going downhill where you can get a little speed going. Made for a very enjoyable ride.

Wehrspann Lake Trail

Amazing Path

October, 2023 by hkhumphress

We are visiting from Ohio and found this path around the lake. It is awesome! We are participating in a health challenge and the 6.5 miles was terrific! It is an overcast and cool day; it may be hot if the sun is out and it is mid-summer. Fantastic for us though!
