The Iron Horse trail is a multi-use 2-mile trail located in Montpelier, OH, with one mile of paved asphalt trail with two boardwalks, and another mile of rustic dirt + grass trail. The improved trail is ADA-accessible and is for non-motorized users.
About the Route
This rustic trail navigates through old-growth forests where trail users will be sure to encounter many types of wildlife. There is a one-mile paved loop that travels between Jonesville St. and E Main St., and north of that is a one-mile dirt and grass trail that travels up to parallel the St. Joseph's River and connects to a 0.75-mile single-track mountain bike course.
The Iron Horse River Trail runs between 325 N Jonesville St. (Montpelier) and Fairgrounds, 619 E Main St. (Montpelier).

Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.
The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.
