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!
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.
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!
Wow! We had no idea the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) would be so memorable. If you’re looking for a multi-day tour with a variety of landscapes, long stretches of trail riding, some great trail towns, urban riding through major cities, and some quiet pedaling through Amish country, then this is a trip for you. The OTET website offers plenty of itinerary options, and the OTET Facebook group has a lot of helpful folks and information. We did an 8 day, credit card tour. We had memorable stays at the London Guest House, the Mount Vernon Inn and the Hotel Millersburg. Our favorite eateries were Red Brick Tavern, Lola’s in Cedarville and Miller’s Creamery in Millersburg. We rate this right behind the GAP on our favorite tours. Highly recommended.
Love using this trail when I wan to ride from Youngstown to Warren. So peaceful, quiet and safe to use.
One of the most cleanest and excellent trails that I've rode so far since riding bike again.
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.
Nice trail. Mostly shaded. A little narrow for bikes but not bad. Smooth and well maintained. You have to cut through Quail Hollow to get to the other part of the trail.
If you start at the depot trailhead, you can now ride 7 miles out to Coal Bank road! It is a beautifully paved trail!
Summer, 2026. We biked the new section of the trail between Route 520 and Glenmont. No parking at 520. Parking in Glenmont. Very smooth asphalt. Trail has some S-Bends in it. Very enjoyable ride!
Started at Swine Creek where there’s a smelly pit toilet where you can change lol. Nicely paved and maintained trail, just a few bumps, mostly at the Chardon end. Only water fountains seem to be around Chardon as well, so take plenty with you. Return trip seemed to go a little easier but not much elevation change overall, other than some serious hills (both ways) during the portion paralleling Route 44 near the northern end of the trail. For some reason the trail is not quite as well marked when you’re going south, at least through Middlefield and especially the on-road section back to Swine Creek; didn’t have any problem going north.
Starting at the south end, initially I was disappointed at the lack of any historical signage, these are always a big plus for me; around Chardon however there are quite a few railroad history markers, so that made up for it. And I’m probably an outlier here, but even though the faux covered bridges are cute, it almost seems like the trail designers tried to erase most vestiges of the trail’s railroading past; other than the very informative markers in Chardon, practically no railroading evidence exists, but then I’m a bit of a train nerd. Scenery was very pleasant, with the trail length and nice surface (and lotsa nearby breweries, taverns, and overall quaint towns all over this part of the state), could be considered a destination trail.
