We are often asked which parts are paved and which are crushed stone. Here is the answer.
Trail Surface: If you are planning to cycle through the Sippo Valley and/or Ohio & Erie Canalway sections, be aware that there are segments of crushed limestone in these areas:
Sippo Valley Trail – length 9.8 miles – 1 composite section = 3.4 miles
O&E Canalway Towpath – length 66.7 miles – 5 composite sections = 44.6 miles
Camp Chase Trail - length 1/2 mile, next to Darby Creek, crushed stone
These composite sections are easily rideable with hybrid, touring, road, or e-bikes. Tire sizes of 28 mm or larger are recommended.
If it is not listed here, the trail surface is hard surface (asphalt or concrete).
