Western Reserve Greenway

Connector is Open!

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October, 2026. The trail connector between Garrett Wonders Trail South Warren and Niles is open as of 10-9-26. 2 new bridges at the Niles end of the trail. Follow the signs through streets of Niles and the trail begins at Warren Avenue and goes for a few miles zig zagging around the Kimberly Clark property. Then connects at Burton Street to the Garrett Wonders Trail. This is a great new connection to the trail!

MetroParks Bikeway

New repaving, well maintained, fall foliage

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October, 2026. We were pleasantly surprised to see fall foliage! This trail is tree lined but doesn't offer a lot of shade in the Summer, so we were in awe at the beautiful Fall colors of the trees. Definitely a nice surprise. Last month the first few miles from Countyline to New Road were repaved. Last year a few miles were repaved as well. There are now no bumps and cracks. Benches for resting along the trail, several parking lots and trash cans at the trailheads. Well maintained and cared for. While in the area we also bicycled Niles Greenway and the Western Reserve Trail out of Niles. Two connecting trails also well maintained.

Niles Greenway

Always a great bike ride on this trail

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October, 2026. We specifically went to Niles to ride this trail since the connection to the Western Reserve Greenway officially opened last week. Some nice colors of Fall. At the Niles Trailhead, a new workout fitness station has been installed. From the picnic shelter you can see the newly opened bridge over Robbins Avenue with "Niles" painted on it. This is where the Western Reserve Greenway Trail now ends, in Niles, and seamlessly connects with the Niles Greenway. While in the area we also biked on Metro Parks Greenway and on Western Reserve Trail. Great trail system in this area.

Garrett Wonders Bike Trail

Good Connection but dirty

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October, 2026. Biked this trail between Western Reserve Greenway Trails. The new section from Niles and to the Warren section of Western Reserve. Garrett Wonders is a few miles in length. Asphalt paved in fair condition. Trail was littered with trash along the route and some sections had more trash than others, like literally a whole trashbag strewn vs a view pieces of trash here and there. Some vandalism as far as spray paint on the bridge and signs. The intersections had glass in them and on Burton Street a lot of glass, metal and other debris. So be careful for the sake of your tires!

Allegheny River Trail

We keep trying to "like" the Southern section but so bumpy!

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October 9, 2026: Though this trail is nearly 30 miles in length, about half of the miles are rideable and the Southern half is one bump after another. It's like a washboard. We've been biking this trail 12+ years and the last 6 years or so we've noticed a steady increase in roots uplifting the asphalt pavement to the point we ask ourselves "why are we doing this" during the ride. Bump after bump and now with fallen leaves on the trail, it's difficult to see the bumps. We parked at the Rockland tunnel North portal and biked to South Kent. We enjoy the few miles of smooth pavement through the St. George area. The tunnels are a "neat" attraction but you have to take the bumps as a trade-off. This is a trail which goes through some isolated areas, and there seems to be some vandalism to the signs along the trail. With this being one of the closest trails to us, we seem to only ride the Southern end once, maybe twice a year. And with the price of gas at practically $5 a gallon, it's still worth it to travel distances for better trail conditions elsewhere. Getting back to this trail is 30 miles in length, the first 12 miles or so traveling South out of Franklin, are in much better riding condition.

Allegheny River Trail

Beautiful trail, but not a smooth trail!

October, 2026 by davejohnson1967

My wife and I decided to ride from the south up the Allegheny Trail. We wanted to experience the tunnel. As we rode to the tunnel we experienced some very rough tree root damaged trail sections. Some of them so tall that if you were going a t a high rate of speed, you possibly could be thrown off your bike. My hope is that this could be fixed because we love the scenery and riding along the Allegheny River was beautiful.

Allegheny River Trail

Franklin to Emlenton

October, 2026 by dharbula

This was a nice 27.5 mile ride along the Allegheny River. The section that reverses N Kent road through the small subdivision of homes makes it interesting. Unchanging terrain becomes boring after a while. We enjoyed the historical markers which provide a better understanding of the area. It is a shame vandals live amongst us and are driven to destroy things like Indian God Rock. The northern section is very nice. The section south of the Woodland tunnel is a bit bumpy, but still better than other trails out there. The southern section could stand a little trimming of bushes etc. Toilets at both ends were atrocious.

Niles Greenway

Love using this trail when I wan to ride from Youngstown to Warren. So peaceful, quiet and safe to use.

Western Reserve Greenway

Always a nice ride

September, 2026 by vicki1960

September, 2026. Nice end of the Summer bike ride. Parked at Oakfield, biked to Orwell for lunch, then a little North and back plus to Bristolville. Most of the trail well shaded and beyond that farmlands. Open areas of the trail very windy. There are some drainage / speed bumps between Oakfield and Bristol heading South.

Trout Island Trail

Bike Ride

September, 2026 by vicki1960

September, 2026. End of the month bike ride on a nice sunny day. Trail is just a few miles long but a nice place to ride instead of roads. Sharpsville end is well shaded and the Northern end is more open. Some of the pavement is starting to become bumpy.

John C. Oliver Multi-Purpose Loop Trail

Always a great ride

September, 2026 by vicki1960

September, 2026. We ride this trail a few times a year, try to hit it every season. End of Summer ride. On a hot sunny day this trail provides plenty of shade. Paved trail encircles Lake Wilhelm within the park on rolling Pennsylvania terrain. Lots of wildlife and bird watching at this State Park. One short section of the bike trail is along the causeway within the park. The causeway goes through the park and not much traffic. Maurice K. Goddard State Park offers boating, fishing, and picnic areas.
