Very scenic trail that passes directly through Lowellville Ohio and ends across the PA line near…read moreNew Castle. The seven miles of the PA part of this trail are very nice and suitable for narrow tire road race bike as well as hybrid or mountain bikes with wider tires. The three miles of the Ohio side are VERY rough with several sections with serious frost heaves that would make it way too uneven for a narrow tire / high psi inflation road race bike. This trail has a lot of rolling hills that make it more challenging than a standard bike trail that has been constructed on an old railroad bed. According to other information available online this trail was constructed along a electric trolley rail bed so this is why there are more ups and downs to the trail. When the trail passes through Lowellville, the trail seems to just end on the village streets but just continue in a straight line and the trail will resume on the other side of this small charming village. In Lowellville, there is a small locally owned (not a chain) convenience store and a couple of local taverns. On the New Castle side there is nothing as it seems to end out in the country. However a short but VERY hilly ride for an extra two - three miles will bring the rider into some additional facilities. In fact it is possible to ride to a more developed area with a WalMart, and several chain restaurants and fast food places. As I said thougfh if not familiar with the area it does look when the trail ends at the New Castle side that there is just nothing there.

Did a fall weekend getaway with my boyfriend, and we were heading to the Spread Eagle Tavern in…read moreHanoverton. I wanted to do some hiking that afternoon to take advantage of the crisp, sunny fall weather, and I found this site on Tripadvisor. We didn't really know much about it but when we got here we were totally fascinated! There are nearly 200 ovens, some in much better condition than others, but to explore them was so interesting. As you leave the parking lot and approach the main section of ovens, you cross a little bridge and going right, you will be walking down a long path lined on both sides with ovens with a huge ditch in the middle. If you go left, you will walk by about a dozen ovens as the path curves around and turns into a gravel trail. If you follow the trail "behind" the ovens, on your left just about 50 yards away is a beautifully paved hiking path. We went over there and hiked several miles in one direction before turning back. Part of the path we hiked seemed to get slightly near some homes, but you couldn't really see them much. The walk was so, so beautiful with the leaves falling and the water in the creek next to the path running - you couldn't have created a better fall day. We so enjoyed this stop, it was a great outdoor experience and just set a great mood for our weekend. Absolutely check this place out!

It's not a "rest stop, but definitely a nice and quiet place to take a short stroll. The entire loop is maybe a mile walk. You can cut through on a shorter path back to the parking area, or continue on for the longer way around. It's mostly shaded. Few flying insects but nothing bothersome. It's just peaceful and green! Cute bird houses posted along the paths. Some spots are shaded enough to where there's moss and patches of mushrooms growing. It was like a fairy garden.
