The trail is all paved, but it's nice overall. There is one section of narrow road which is about a mile long and is part of the trail; people did drive pretty fast and didn't really slow down or anything. Other than that it was a decent walk.
Love this trail! Great for a daily “quickie” can be done in less than an hour. Interesting to watch the farmers get their crops in and the train schedules! People just need to keep their kids from jumping out when you let them know you’re passing!! I just wish it was longer!
Great daily ride! Takes a little over an hour. Primarily flat and little traffic. Put your headphones on, spin the pedal, and jam out.
Pretty straight forward trail which runs parallel to train tracks between Creston and Rittman. Offers a paved surface to get out with your road bike and not have to worry about traffic. There is a short section of the trail which you share with the road but not a main street so car traffic is minimal. Peaceful farmlands with a few benches along trail to take breaks should you desire.
