Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.

Chippewa Inlet Trail

Great Trail!

March, 2025 by hlk8503

Took the kids for a bike ride on this trail! It wasn’t over crowded. Beautiful scenery too! Enjoyed stopping at the parks along the way for the kids to play at.

Portage River Trail

Avoid

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nothing to see here but a river and a tree farm. Trail is very rough and uneven.

Kokosing Gap Trail

We started at the Danville in trailhead & rode west into downtown Mt. Vernon, & back. Scenic, especially since we were surrounded by fall colors. Wasn't much traffic ( Tuesday morning) but it was busier near Gambier ( Kenyon College)..

such a beautiful trail!

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

Richland B&O Trail

Beautiful ride

October, 2024 by lstrohmie

Not sure what the September reviews are talking about. Rode this trail today from route 97 to Mansfield and back, for 21 miles. We had no scary issues. A few bumps. Awesome crisp fall day. The fences were in place to protect from going into a deep ravines. We would ride this trail again. Not on a Sunday because the nearby Der Dutchman restaurant was closed. ¿

North Coast Inland Trail (Sandusky and Ottawa Counties)

Great trail

October, 2024 by tyoakum

Started at the beginning of the trail in Bellevue and rode to the end in Genoa. Round trip was 68.5 miles, so each way about 34 miles. This is a great trail - flat and smooth, with minimal uprooting. Two things to mention: 1. There are several road crossings, and 2. Have to ride on streets in one of the passing towns (route signs are visible, though).

Kokosing Gap Trail

This is a must trail if you love to ride.

Mohican Valley Trail

Horse poop

September, 2024 by islandguy

is everywhere…went on a wet day and our recumbent trikes were sprayed with horse crap…thankfully we had mudguards!

Richland B&O Trail

Sorry but taking this off my favorites

September, 2024 by jjarrell1

We started off at the trail head in Mansfield. Was not going to park my car in that neighborhood. Ended up driving to Butler and working our way back. Was kinda cool in the start seeing some crop dusters type planes getting ready to take off. Trail was in decent shape, had dog in trailer and was hoping for some water to let her swim, was 85 degrees. There was a blue bridge, maybe Belleville but the little park we could have stopped at said Private Property so we tracked on. We ended up going the whole trail and when we arrived back close to Mansfield we decided to turn around when I started seeing barbed wire on fence. It was pretty open in many areas and very hot. Some cool looking buildings but some really dangerous intersections and 90% of drivers will not stop for you. No intention return to this trail but can say we completed.
