When you are in Ohio's Amish Country, be sure to visit Historic Downtown Millersburg, and when you do, check out the Holmes County Trail. A beautiful scenic trail, built on a former railroad bed, you can travel north to Holmesville and Fredericksburg, and south to Killbuck. It's likely the only trail engineered specifically to accommodate horses, bikes and foot traffic, where you can walk or ride, side by side with Amish buggies, making their way to town. Check it out!
Very well maintained rail to trail through Amish country. Buggies use this to avoid roads. Great mixture of bikes, walkers, and horse and buggies!
Went to Holmes County to see the Amish Trail. The trail was very difficult to find. The main street was very very commercial and crowded even for a rainy day. I much prefer Lancaster, PA.
What an enjoyable bike ride! We have done the whole trail and throroughly enjoyed it. It's not very hilly, so fine for the casual biker. The section from Millersburg to Killbuck is particularly level and easy to do. There are barhroom facilities at the trail in Millersburg. It is such a treat to have a horse and buggy come along at the same time as we are riding. Very nice trail :)
The Rails To Trails is a great addition for Holmes County. A scenic view with asphalt roadway that is shared with Horse and Buggies, Bicycles, Walkers and Runners.
Very enjoyable flat walking. We did about 3 miles. There were some runners as well. Follows alongside river on the part we walked. Nice that there were some public bathrooms at the depot/parking area in Millersburg.
Our friends recommended going on this trail for a nice walk to get some exercise. We had 3 couples in our group so we decided we would try and guess how many buggies we would encounter on the trail. We walked, talked about nature and bird watched. It's a great trail, because buggies travel on one side and people on the other. No mud or manure to deal with. I liked the wetland area's, because we saw and heard the birds. Very nice trail to get your exercise.
I loved this part of the country, while walking I was passed by many buggies, runners and walkers like myself. It was covered with snow, very cold but lovely scenery. The trees were dripping with ice and covered with snow. The path was easy and there was enough room for passing easily. Well worth getting out there.
We didn't know that this trail existed until we read about it in a brochure from the Berlin Resort, where we were staying. We have started biking with our grandkids as they are getting older and it is nice to know that there are options close to home.
This is one of the best biking trails we have been on. Bike, walk, jog, horseback riding or bring your buggy. You will enjoy this trail. This is a Holmes County hidden gem
