OHIO BICYCLE TRAILS:
A BIKE TRAILS DIRECTORY
MIAMI AND ERIE CANAL TOWPATH
This 8 mile dirt, and stone path may be a bit rougher than the other trails listed on this website. A short portion may even be posted, requiring one to walk one's bike, however the historical significance, and the canal boat ride through a working lock make up for the inconvenience. The trail runs from Farnsworth to just west of Grand Rapids at Providence Metropark.
In a 1988 issue of "Ohio" Magazine, Metroparks advertised free admission into the water powered mill, and canal boat rides as $4. for adults, and $2. for children ages 3-12 years. (Located on the west side of the river next to Grand Rapids, Ohio)
