Print Friendly MapThe Portage River Trail is a 1-mile trail that runs through the Village of Pemberville. The path crosses a river and passes farm fields, small town roads and an old train depot.
Parking is available in a four space lot at the northern end of the trail on W College Ave.
The Portage River Trail is a short trail running through the village of Pemberville located in northwest Ohio’s Wood County. It is built upon an old Toledo & Central Ohio Railroad right-of-way that ran between Stoney Ridge and Fostoria, Ohio.
The trail has a dirt/cinder surface and runs between Rees Rd/W. College Avenue and Alexander Road in Pemberville. Highlights along the trail include Pemberville Station and a bridge over the North Branch of the Portage River. Both of these rail remnants are in good condition and might be of interest to train aficionados, but considering the length and surface of this trail, it is definitely not one that I can recommend to anyone outside the immediate vicinity of Pemberville. I view this trail as primarily meant to be a walking trail for the village’s residents. Unless this trail would be extended northwest 6.75 miles to Stoney Ridge, OH or 15.5 miles south to just outside Fostoria, OH I think there is little reason to seek out this trail.
Nothing to see here but a river and a tree farm. Trail is very rough and uneven.
