Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
This trail is good for local people and college students and staff to get to various places close to the Ohio Wesleyan University. A few people were using it at mid-day on a Wednesday during April. It was in fairly good condition. Warning lights help with street crossings. I parked in the lot off of S Liberty St and then biked in both directions.
I am definitely biased, but having this trail a quarter of a mile from my house is a gift. The crushed limestone parts are very smooth and any bike will work. It does get rough for much of the trip. A mountain bike or gravel bike is needed. I have a hardtail mountain bike and that is perfect. I hope in the future they complete the trail with crushed limestone. But if they don't I will still be happy it's there.
We rode the roughly 30 miles from Fredericksburg to Killbuck and back. Paved trail with some nice views and lots of shaded areas. It’s a shared trail with horse/buggies and there are a lot of Amish on E-bikes pulling carts but the path is very wide. My only complaints are the bumps in some areas and the need to constantly dodge horse manure.
Really love this trail. Mostly shaded and they have ground down the tree roots but could use more road markings and signage at road crossings. The electric bikes and scooters are really becoming a problem.
The trail has been resurfaced and the section up to the Medina Career Center has been paved with asphalt. Trail is in excellent condition. Nice job Medina county!
Holmes County trail has recently been extended an extra 4 miles from the Glenmont trailhead. Killbuck trailhead is now approximately a 3 mile highway ride from the end of this new addition.
I am thankful for the reviews as I was able to ride the grassy section to add a few miles. I did the county line trail before this one, between the two I managed to do 20 miles with a 7 mile car ride between the trails. Maybe I will live long enough to see and ride the completion of this trail system.
We parked on the West side of Norwalk and biked almost to Bellevue and back. Trail surface is crushed limestone in iffy condition. Seen better, seen worse. It was hot out, not much shade. Historic restored train station and park in Monroeville was kind of nice. We ate in Norwalk at a place called Berrys restaurant on the main drag. Can reach by bike. Then we loaded up and headed to the other side of the town where the trail goes towards Wakeman. That section of the trail is also crushed limestone seen better, seen worse. More open farmlands over that way a few areas of shade. Pretty scenery. We can now say we've completed the entire NCIT all 100ish miles of it through 3 counties.
The trail itself was in good shape, fairly smooth not a lot of bumps. About 75% of the ride was shaded. It would be pretty in the fall when the leaves change colors. Major complaint is the amount of horse poop on the trail. And because most of the trail being shaped it was hard to avoid. Washed my bike when I got home. Kokosing Gap trail and Holmes County Trail are much better rides.
We parked at the lot in Elmore and first rode northwest to Genoa. This is a good section of the Inland Trail, very flat, good pavement, lots to see and do. The map doesn't show it yet, but the trail is paved all the way into Genoa. The newly added trail runs north beside Martin Williston road, and west beside SR-51, then winds along a separate paved path into Genoa. The trail is separated from the roads, no problem. The trail ends ends in Genoa at Washington and 6th streets, adjacent to an Ice Cream shop and Veterans Memorial Park. We then rode back to Elmore, then over to Lindsey. Each town is about 5 miles apart, giving us roughly half hour segments between each town. There are a few crossings along the way, but not bad. Plenty of shade. They just added a lot to the intersection going under the Ohio turnpike. There is a Sunflower Tours site on the outskirts of Lindsey. You can take a tractor-pulled trailer ride through a field of sunflowers for a small fee. Looked like a good time. The pavement is well maintained and the path is well marked. All and all a very nice afternoon ride.
