Wilderness Road Trail
VA - 8.5 miles
Surfaces: Crushed Stone
As of June 15th, the trail is now open between Burlington and Lyon.
Biked this well kept trail start to finish. Well marked. There are a couple of challenging uphill climbs but doable by most people. Historical plaques along the route are very informative. There are some rest areas with benches. Highly recommend this trail. Looking forward to riding it again.
I have done this trail several times now I once did it at midnight and I could honestly say I never felt threatened. The reason why I only do 3 star is because half of this trail you are literally next to traffic. Also if you don’t have the map on your phone you will definitely get lost they need to keep up with the maintenance of signs.
Rode past The Stone Bridge, took the Cedar trail and merged into the Kenilworth trail. Wasn't paying attention, thought I was on the N Cedar Trail, but missed the turnoff. The new paved trail looks great and brings to the doorstep of the lakes area. SO many trees were planted next to the lite rail system.
So thankful for the investment.
Parked in middle waked each way, nice leisurely walk.
The Slippery Elm Trail is a flat, well-maintained trail found running through farmland in northwest Ohio. It runs 13 miles between the towns of Bowling Green and North Baltimore. The trailheads in both towns have nice trailheads with flush bathrooms, drinking water, and bike repair stations. Near the midpoint of the trail the village of Rudolph offers port-a-johns. The trail is wide and the asphalt surface is smooth. Where cracks have appeared they have been filled. Depending upon the time of year you ride the trail there may not be a lot to see. The parts of the trail that are shaded have lots of brush between the trees which make the trail seem like a green tunnel. Likewise, the parts of the trail running through corn fields also block seeing much of the surrounding countryside. Since much of the trail running through farmland is not shaded, using sunscreen would be a wise idea. In addition, I would suggest to make sure you carry a cell phone. I found the trail to feel somewhat isolated. On the weekday that I rode an out-and-back ride of the entire trail I did not encounter a single other person using the trail. If you have a crash or an emergency occur while on the trail, I don’t think you can rely on someone coming by to assist you.
Thankful for a pedestrian friendly route on this side part of town, this route is more utilitarian than it is for sight seeing.
Thankfully you are able to track your location through the app would definitely have gotten lost without the app a little Savior... a good majority of the trail was nice and smooth and definitely some narrow aspects but all in all what a fun trip
Phenomenal paved riverside trail! It’s all concrete, with a few bumps. I recommend parking at the “No Name” exit and travel the trail east. Roundtrip, this portion of the trail is 22 miles. During summer months, travel the trail early in the day to avoid afternoon wind gusts through the canyon!
THE CLOSURE NOTICE AT THE TOP OF THE DESCRIPTION IS INACCURATE. As of June 2026 the trail is open to at least MM 15. The bridge repairs are causing a series of rolling closures and you need to check the trail website to see what's currently closed.
Too bumpy. Which is unfortunate its a pretty trail
I parked at Lexington lot & took my atb after reading how rough the path is. Pleasantly surprised. I'll take my road bike next time.
This isn’t a trail in any real sense, but is clearly intended to be the entrance to a more ambitious path along the now-overgrown elevated rail line leading away from Summit. It’s literally a few hundred yards that ends in a locked gate. Nothing to see here unless you’re being a radical completion key for every trail listed in the app. 2 stars for potential, here’s hoping there’s some further expansion somewhere in the works.
Rode from Anniston Alabama, to piedmont, then to Alabama/Georgia line, and onward to cedartown, rock mart, Dallas and to the beginning of the trail near Symirna. This was done at different times from different trailheads, but was accomplished. Extremely beautiful and pleasing. Mostly flat, with gradual inclines and curves and only a few steep hills, east of Cedartown. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys biking, walking. Well maintained!
This is such a beautiful place to spend the day at, so many trails to explore the depths of this place is just mind blowing. I have been riding it for the past 3 weekends and still haven't explored it all.
