Even if you aren't a bike rider, bring one or rent one and enjoy this path along Ohio's historic Erie Canal. Be with nature while getting some exercise. Stop and look for for critters in the ponds. Hear the stories of how the canal was used and see how a real lock operated. I'm not in good shape but the path is surprisingly pretty flat and fairly easy ride.
-
Easy trail along canal towpath through fields and forests. Don't miss chance to explore old lock ruins and the working lock at the Canal Museum. Relax and learn some interesting Ohio history in the same location.

If you're looking for a nice quiet walk or bike ride you should definitely take this path. It's hard to find a nice paved, quiet, path to walk your dog, roller skate, or travel sometimes. The scenery is great, the entirely paved path is nice, the people who also travel this path are polite. It's just an all around great trail.

I can bike to the towpath trailhead from my house and love taking trips down the path through Peninsula and sometimes all the way to Akron. I love biking on the trail for general exercise, a nature break, or past Pedal to the Point training. One of the best trails in Cleveland!

We biked the southern portion from Zoar to Navarre. Zoar to Bolivar is intermittent packed gravel and packed (but muddy) earth. Mountain bikes or hybrids are fine, not so much road bikes. There is a gap at Bolivar. IGNORE the signage in Bolivar, it leads you to nowhere. Going north, the trail ends at Ft Laurens, take a right onto SR 102. In Bolivar, ignoring the multiple signs to go east, continue to the junction with SR 212 West on Poplar Street. Take SR 212 to the new trailhead (with signs for a canoe livery). Going south, from the new trailhead, turn south left on SR 212, then right onto Park Ave, SR 102 in Bolivar and go to Ft Laurens.

You can imagine yourself in the wilderness or along the canal in 1850 at several points along the trail. We often see deer, turtles, great blue herons and many other birds as we ride our bikes south. We enjoy the $3 train ride back when we've had enough. Lunch in Peninsula is always great at either restaurant. Like the art shops there as well. Enough people to feel safe but rarely enough to feel crowded.

Seems like this can not get any better. With so many bike tarils like the towpath, how safe can you get for ride your bike this.

the tow path has great views and is well maintained and is a great place for a run,walk or bike ride

I rode from Peninsula into Tremont and back. It is a terrific ride. Great Scenery. Well marked trail. Good places to stop in Valley View, Tremont/Ohio City & Steelyard Commons. Shorten the trip and take the historic railway in one direction if you have children with you. It is a little crowded on the weekend, but still a great ride.

Access is easy from numerous spots. We started at Brecksville station: adequate parking, restrooms, and nice picnicking. From there we rode south to Boston Mills (including a rest stop and store with sandwiches and ice cream). Then back north to the exploration center. Half was asphalt, and half was crushed limestone, and most of the time there was the river on one side and the canal on the other. We saw turtles and ducks and many beautiful wildflowers. The best part is exploring the remnants of the locks: each is different in its own way, and the informational signs are very interesting. During a previous ride we took the train from Boston Mills to Boczum. We still need to explore the trail further north. Take your camera.
