First time for riding the Conotton creek trail and we really liked it. The best place to park is on the Jewett end. Nice and flat, pavement in great shape and bathrooms long the way. We will definitely ride this trail again.
This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Hats off to Portage County for repaving last year and redoing the RR crossing near Ravenna. Whether it was the RR or the County you did a fantastic job on a hazardous crossing. Very nice trail. Hopefully it gets extended east
This is a nice short trail that is flat and uncrowded, with nice views of farmland. It’s paved except for about a mile long road section that’s fresh, chunky gravel, chip and seal. I walked it with my thin tires, but wider tires would do just fine.
I parked in Wellsburg and rode through town first. Very unkempt and Unmarked. Bumpy and just all around super unenjoyable. Headed back the other direction. While nicer, admittedly, it was still pretty unkept. 2/10 for being lackluster. At best.
This trail is wider, better kept condition than adjacent Ohio to Erie trail, probably can be muddy during wet weather I enjoyed the ride, well marked!
Enjoyed our ride along this trail. Doesn't offer much shade but the scenery is fields of corn and other crops and working farms. We parked at the police station in Andover and biked to Leon Road and back, then zig-zagged through town (Andover) and biked the Southern section from Mill Street to Marvin Road. Out and back is approx 12-13 miles. Always a great ride along this trail which is less than 2 years old. While in the area, about 10 minutes away is the Spillway Trail in Linesville, PA. July, 2026.
I love this trail! The elevation is constantly changing. Couple that with many curves and you have a challenging trail if you are someone who rides a bit faster than most. You will encounter steep downhills that end with a 90deg turn, or sometimes a horseshoe turn. I am 79 and find this a great trail on which to hone your skills. And yet you meet the most interesting people enjoying nature at its best. I saw a man on a unicycle just going to town on the curves. Then I saw a woman in her 90s slowly pushing a wheeled walker along. Bless her and her determination to carry on. Keep moving!
We rode from Warren trailhead on the Southern end to North Bloomfield and back (about 28 miles round trip). It’s kind of a boring trail, mostly woods on each side with not many views. There are HORRENDOUS bumps on a stretch just north of Rt. 88. 17 huge “speed bumps” in a half mile stretch that are marked with red and yellow paint. Needs fixed badly. We will most likely not ride this section of the trail again. Will attempt the northern end from Orwell to see if it’s any better.
Parked at Swine Creek. Traveled up to Middlefield, where we picked up the trail. Went north to Chardon. Turned west down to Spinners Diner for lunch and biked back. On the way up, there was a small tree across the trail. By the time we got back, it was cleared. Hit two Amish Markets in Middlefield for some baked goods. After, we went south to Garrett’s Mill and Brewing in Garrettsville, OH for a pint. Great day trip!!
Did 16 from Oakdale to Burgettstown. Ate at Paradise on the Trail. Allegheny County had black topped a bunch, which is great. Fantastic trail!!
