About the Route
The trail leaves off from its northern endpoint in Van Auken Field and heads southeast along a wooded corridor before reaching Ohio Ave. and shares the road with car traffic for a short distance before reaching Miller Park.
After Miller Park, the trail once again shares the road traveling east on Chestnut St. The rest of the route heads southeast, parts of it following alongside an active rail line. The southern end of the trail also passes through Trolley Line Park and Trolley Line House which offers park pavilions, a firepit, and more.
The Wadsworth Interurban Trail runs between Van Auken Field, 139 S Lyman St (Wadsworth), where parking is available, and Silvercreek Rd. (Wadsworth).
Parking is also available at:

I rode over 3.5 miles on an out-and-back ride on the Wadsworth Interurban Trail in Wadsworth, Ohio. This trail was built on the right of way of the old trolley car line that ran through Wadsworth and much of Northeast Ohio during the first third of the 20th century. While the trail is currently short (just under 2 miles in length), there is potential to expand it to the east). It is well maintained. It connects Wadsworth’s downtown to 3 parks. It seems to be a community amenity that is well supported by both the citizens and the city government. The trail surface is asphalt and is free of broken glass and debris. It is mostly a standalone trail, but includes a separated bike lane along Chestnut Street and a short on-street ride on Ohio Avenue, a low-traffic residential street, in order to connect to the trail segment leading to the Main Street business district in downtown Wadsworth. It is pretty flat except for the section along Chestnut Street and into Miller Park. This is a pretty little trail that could be even better if it can be extended to the east.
Great trail to downtown wadsworth. Would love to see it extended!
