Reviews
"A small parking acess for the trail. It has a porta toilet. There is a small creek with a nice view just a short walk north of here. The parking area on Lampson Road also has a pavilion with latrine toilets. This was once a staging area for the trains, with twelve spur lines in the switching yard. Remnants of railroad ties are still in the ground, if you know where to look, to the east of the trail and south of the parking area."
"The bike trail is marvelous. All the parking lots look well maintained that I saw."
"Great historical area for bike riding or hiking."
"27 miles of paved trail in Ashtabula County, continues in Trumbull County. Much of the trail is through wooded areas. A very pleasant area to walk, run or ride a bicycle."
"Great trail. Wish I’d found it sooner than fall just because of the wet leaves. Very smooth with benches lining the trail, if you want to take a break and soak it all in. Even saw a deer near trail. Look forward to riding it again soon."
