Zoar Valley Trail

I like it

September, 2024 by jjarrell1

We took the dog out in her cart. Trail is a bit tight for a trailer and it’s rough. Probably never will fix because river destroys it when it rains. I thought I was going somewhere new and wife says we have been here before and after seeing the old Zoar bridge I realized I have did this trail many times. Not a lot of people on it so not bad. Dog liked the areas where she could get out and jump in the Tuscarawas River. She’s sleeping now.

Holmes County Trail

Killbuck to Fredericksburg

August, 2024 by blarnold

Did the trip today. Trail is definitely uphill on the way. Surface is decent, although there are some bumpy spots. Ate at Lem’s and had a good meal. Met some of the locals and heard some interesting stories about the town. Return trip was quick. Good facilities at Millersburg.

Nice paved trail through the heart of Ohio Amish country. Pass through a Handful of small towns. Leave a little extra time to enjoy them. Trail has great scenery throughout. Looking forward to returning this fall.

North Coast Inland Trail (Sandusky and Ottawa Counties)

August 2024 Ride

August, 2024 by vicki1960

Annual "we travel 150+ miles to get to this one" ride. Staying nearby and adding other outdoor activities as well while in the area.

Always a great ride on this trail! We parked in Fremont and headed West towards Elmore. Very little shade between Fremont and Elmore, some shade towards the Fremont end, otherwise, once you get moving, heading West, it's farmlands after farmlands and fields of crops including corn and soybeans. Wide open fields, a beautiful area.

Lindsey is the first small old railroad town. Parking, picnic shelter, playground and a bike self repair fix-it station. Lindsey is the home of Luckey Farms.

There was a detour between Lindsey and Elmore where the trail goes under the Ohio turnpike. Follow the easy detour on back country roads. The only traffic was a tractor with a brush hog.

Elmore is the next old railroad town. Parking at Orly Park, and old historic log cabin, picnic tables and playground. Across from the trail is a bike shop and an ice cream stand. We actually found 3 places to eat in Elmore, and one offered outdoor seating. We ate where the outdoor seating was and got our water bottles refilled as well.

Heading west, we weren't sure how far the trail went since the last time we turned around at Elmore. Just out of Elmore the trail crosses the Portage River. Down below there we several large rocks and a dead log and we must of counted 30 turtles basking in the sun.

We continued out of Elmore through more open farmlands and about one tree offering shade. The trail ended at South Martin Williston Road but continued as part of the trail. Less than a mile on that road, not much traffic, and it comes out onto Route 51. Very new, perhaps less than a year old, a trail along side of Route 51 and winds through another field you can see the Genoa water tower. Follow this new section for a few miles into Genoa. The trail actually ends there on Washington Street, There isn't much in Genoa. But outside of town on the main highway there is a fast food restaurant.

Genoa is another old historic town. At the end of the trail was an ice cream stand. Parking at the Genoa end at the Veterans Park. There was also a bike repair stand, picnic areas and a rest room (seasonal). The trail sign in Genoa read "Elmore 5 miles, Fremont 18".

All in all, a great ride from Fremont to Genoa and back, 36 mile round trip. Trail surface is asphalt paved in very good condition.

We took a side trip up to Lake Erie and visited Marblehead Lighthouse across from Cedar Point. Marblehead is the oldest working lighthouse on all of the Great Lakes. The tower is open for climbing, seasonal, but the park is open year around.

North Coast Inland Trail (Huron County)

Wakeman to Norwalk

August, 2024 by bicycleguy77_tl

Nice ride love the trail from DeBussey road into Norwalk. There are some signage issues so know your route, We ended up adding a few extra miles cause there is no sign pointing you to Lilles road heading west. And another signage issue heading east on Onan road there is a sign on the road but nothing before the turn, So if you not looking east on Onan you’ll miss it!

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.

Heart of Ohio Trail

A complete ride

August, 2024 by jmk355

First time riding this trail after the connection to the Newell Preserve was completed. Ride spanned Mt Vernon to almost Westerville and back and it is far more enjoyable with less time on roads and more on the trail. Let's get the rest of the OTET finished too!

Ohio to Erie Trail

This could be a great trail. We went north to Fredericksburg from Millersburg. The trail was smooth for the first 5 miles, then got rough. It is shared with horses and had droppings on both sides. There is no restrooms north of Millersburg.

monroeville to Norwalk for supper

If you park at the old rail depot in monroeville off SR 99 you can ride 4.8 miles east to downtown Norwalk. Our favorite restaurant is the freight house.
