Love this trail and it is open all year round.
I suggest starting it at the Munson Hill Trailhead or the Austinburg Trailhead. Rent an E-Bike during the summer at On the Lake Electric Bike Company. They drop off the bikes at the trailhead.

Only 3 stars cause of dog poop on bike tires every time we go. Trail itself probably a 4
Don’t bother they’re trimming trees and won’t let you go around them.
Today we rode about 13 miles south from the northern most point. Easy peasy, except some small branches & twigs from a bad storm. Wide, flat trail in real good shape.
Early August, hot Summer day. We traveled over an hour to get to this trail, worth the commute. Parked in Orwell and biked to Austinburg where we had lunch at the Subway located in the Pilot truck stop, just a half- mile off the trail. Take the Clay Street exit from the trail. Trail is mainly shaded so that helped! We ended up biking to I-90 before turning around to head back to our car in Orwell. 40 mile round trip. A beautiful day on the trail for an enjoyable ride as always. Surface is paved in very good condition, flat in both directions. Several parking areas along the trail and a few random benches and/or picnic tables.
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.
It’s a beautiful wooded ride. Only rode a small portion of the stone path.
The trail itself is pretty nice. Signage leading into and in Elyria is abysmal. You’re on a bike in traffic and at intersections, you shouldn’t have to study where to turn.
We parked at mile marker 9, Bur Oak Trailhead and biked to mile 0.0 at Lakeside Landing in Lorain, on the shores of Lake Erie. This section is not a traditional rail-trail as it has hills and ramps and quite a few bridges which cross the Black River multiple times. In 9 miles we passed a few trailheads with parking and facilities. From mile marker 9 to 2, you're on a paved trail then the last 2 miles into Lorain are share the road sections. Worth the trip! Biking to Lake Erie from Elyria was very fun. While in the area we stated in nearby Vermilion.
Trail is flat and paved, goes through mainly open areas of farmlands, a few short wooded sections offering shade. Old rail towns such as Kipton and Oberlin. One short share the road section, well marked. Several (back) road crossings with trailheads and parking. We rode from West Elyria to Huron Co line and continued into Wakeman. Round trip was 30 miles. Great trail! We stayed in Vermilion and went to the lighthouse on Lake Erie.
