Overview
This New London-Greenwich Rail Trail runs for 7.3 miles between the namesake cities of New London and Greenwich, Ohio. It is a rail-with-trail and follows alongside an active rail line.
About the Route
The trail heads northeast from Greenwich, where the trail's southern endpoint is marked with signage and a gravel parking lot. The trail entirely follows the active rail line except for a short section of the trail that uses Townline Road 187 to connect the trail as it crosses State Route 250.
The New London-Greenwich Rail Trail runs between 68 Townsend St. (Greenwich) and 107 W Main St. (New London), with parking available at either end.
Please see TrailLink Map for detailed directions.
This trail is still in phase two of a three phase project which won’t finish until 2026. The New London and Greenwich ends are finished and nice crushed cinder but the middle between Greenwich is very rough. Fencing has been put up in some areas, a bench or two but it has shade and some nice farm, wooded views. There are restaurants and small shops at both ends of the trail. It will be great once complete!
A mix of cinder(about 2 miles in New London) and large stone and rough terrain the rest of the trail made for a rough, uncomfortable and tricky ride. The nice mix of sun and shade along the entire trail was a positive. Not recommended.
