Love this trail, very peaceful, scenic and clean. The last few walks I have taken (at end of Sept 2023), the mosquitos have been abundant (I walk between 97 & Lexington). Be sure you're prepared.
Drove down from Norwalk to ride this trail today and enjoyed it very much.
I was coming from the West. Once I got to the gateway trail head, there were signs at first to direct where to go, but it didn't prevent me from losing the suggested path. Once I pulled up the map from here, the line didn't align with any trail or road near Cascade park and it had it going right through a very closed, very tall fence at the Elyria Police station. Unless there is an underwound tunnel that I didn't see the entrance to, this map was apparently drawn by someone that hasn't been through there. Maybe it was "this is about where we want it to go" at one point, but don't trust the map.
Overall I enjoyed riding the NCIT when I found what to me is the true start of a rail trail.
I feel both TrailLink and the Lorian County parks are misleading on the overall length and nature of the trail. Not all of the advertised 19.3 miles are continuous asphalt for pedestrians and cyclists. There are gaps that would require you to either use a dedicated bike lane (not too big of an issue) or sharing a sidewalk or road shoulder with no shade (a much larger issue to me).
To me the true rail trail experience starts at The Gateway Trailhead in Elyria (6302 Gateway Blvd, Elyria). From there it is a short on road section to a little over 15 miles of paved, mostly flat trail. The trail is in very good condition, has mile markers every half mile and although it has a fair amount of road crossings there was only one in the 15 miles that was busy.
Scenery is mostly farmland, with a small bit of woods and wetlands. Oberlin is a good stop off with many options for food only a short ride off the trail. If I had known to start at the Gateway Trailhead this would have been an easy 5 star trail for me.
Really enjoyed this trail nice and shaded by trees and really peaceful. Everyone were very freindly.
It is amazing here. I just rode here recently with our horses, and it was so nice! Definitely will come again soon!
It's short but sweet...a real nature bike trail...rails to trails. Always worth the ride out on River Road.
This week I rode the trail from Brinkhaven to Glenmont. It was as nice a section of the Ohio to Erie as I've done so far. A well maintained trail through forested rolling hills. And, very little poop.
The entire trail is awesome. Beautiful scenery and many birds. Very easy grade.
While traveling 3 hours to the area, made sure this trail was on the list. Always a great ride! We parked in Bellville, mile 5.5, and biked to Butler at mile 0. Then up to Lexington mile 11. Great mainly shaded trail and some open farmlands also. Trail is paved in very good condition. Trail services in Butler, Bellville and Lexington. Did notice a new parking area at Bellville Dog Park along the trail. Found the restrooms in Butler and Bellville to be very clean and well maintained with flush toilets.
Trail is 23 miles in length and runs from Mt. Vernon in Knox County to mile 0 at the Knox / Delaware County line. Then continues for another 7.5 ish miles to Sunbury in Delaware County. New sections have been added along with several bridges. Plenty of shade on this trail along with open farmlands. Uphill for about the first 10 miles from Mt. Vernon towards Centerburg. But great on the return trip! We rode from Mt. Vernon to Sunbury and back for a 46 mile round trip on a beautiful Sunday in August, 2023.
