About the Route
At the northern end of the route, the trail heads south from Leon Rd. The trail follows the old railroad corridor for 3.5 miles before reaching the town of Andover. Trail users can use an on-street route through town to connect to the southern section on Mill St. The southern section runs for 1.9 miles before reaching its southern end at Marvin Rd.
The Pyamunting Valley Greenway runs between Leon Rd. (Andover), where parking is available, and Marvin Rd. (Andover).
Parking is also available at:
Please see TrailLink Map for all parking options and detailed directions.
Map is backwards. Plenty of parking at North end of trail. North section is about 3 miles, while the South is about 2 miles.
A rare warm and sunny Spring day, got out for a nice bike ride along this trail. Parked at the police station on Maple street in Andover. Headed northwest to Leon Road. Scenery is Farmlands, most of the trail is straight as an arrow and not much shade. Once back to Maple street, zig zagged through Andover to Mill street and biked on the Southern section to Marvin Road. There is a new gravel parking lot at the Marvin road end of the trail.
The Pymatuning Valley Greenway is a developing rail trail being built in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Currently, the trail is centered around the village of Andover, Ohio. One portion of the trail runs northeast from the Village Hall on Maple Street to its current end, a trailhead located on Leon Road in Richmond Township. This paved trail is in excellent shape and runs through both woods and open farm fields. I really enjoyed riding this portion of the trail.
The other portion of the trail runs southwesterly from Mill Street to Marvin Road. As of the time of this posting TrailLink implies that you connect to this section of the trail by following an on-street route through town along Maple and Depot Streets. This implies taking the most direct route using N. Main Street (US-6) between Maple and Depot Streets. I would suggest otherwise. From my observation this street is heavily trafficked. There is little, to no berm, and it was obvious that a good number of commercial trucks use this route. My suggestion would be to use residential streets to reach a place to cross US-6. Travel away from N. Main on Maple Street, take a left on Gates Street and another left onto Hickory Street. Cross over N. Main St. at the end of Hickory. Then ride the sidewalk half a block until you reach Depot St. Follow Depot Street which will become Mill Street after you cross over E. Main Street (OH-85). The trailhead will be further down on Mill Street.
The southwest section of the Pymatuning Valley Trail is mostly shaded and runs by the Andover Golf Course, a pond, and one working farm on its way to its current end at Marvin Road. When the trail is extended beyond Marvin Road it will provide access to Ohio and Pennsylvania state parks on the Pymatuning Reservoir. This appears to be the area of the next phases of the trail’s construction. Connecting the trail to the reservoir will definitely increase the trail’s utility and popularity. I look forward to riding this trail again in the future.
This map is not accurate. The Northern trailhead, with ample parking, is on Leon Road, near the intersection at 3596 Stanhope-Kelloggsville Road (Dorset, OH)41°39'13.0"N 80°36'46.8"W
Getting out and enjoying this nice newly built paved trail. We parked on Maple at the police station and headed Northwest to Leon road. There isn't much shade, goes through a few small/short wooded areas but mostly farmlands. Came back into Andover and navigated through town to connect to the Southern section. There is no set route through Andover, it's not that big of a town! We connected to Mill Street at the Car Wash on Main Street. Will say we waited at least 5 minutes to get the opportunity to cross with traffic. Hopped back on that trail at Mill St. and continued Southeast to Marvin Road. That section travels through wetlands and again mostly farmlands. Trail services in Andover: Grocery Store, gas stations, pizza shops, sub shop and ice cream stand.
Pymatuning Valley Greenway Trail: Great little trail in Andover. We parked at the police station (they offer about 10 spots worth) and headed Northwest to Leon Road. Trail is flat and asphalt paved and pavement is very smooth since it's so new! This section is about 3.5 miles in length. Some wooded offering shade but most of it is through open farmlands. Parking at the Leon Road end for approx 20 cars. Great new pristine trail. The section that runs Southeast out of Andover is a little less than 2 miles in length. You can connect the two on your own navigating though the Village of Andover, there's a few block gap. This trail is maintained by Ashtabula Metroparks. It's been under development for a few years and happy that it's open and operational. While in the area head on over to PA and visit the Pymatuning Spillway Trail and feed the fish at the spillway. Trail services in Andover: Ice Cream, Food, Convenience Store, Pizza place and grocery store.
Week before Christmas walk on the trail. Been watching this trail develop and they've done a great job so far. A few finishing touches and the ribbon cutting will be in the Spring.
