Towpath Trail, Big Bend Trailhead
1337 Merriman Rd, Akron, OH (map)
Price: $1.00/per person
Fall will be in full color for this ride! Passing through Sand Run and heading along the river should provide for some beautiful views. The Beaver Marsh will be in its full glory. This nice Autumn evening ride is one not to miss.
We will cycle north to the Beaver Marsh just north of Ira Road and return to the Sand Run trailhead. This section of the Towpath is mainly surfaced with a fine crushed stone with a few sections paved in asphalt. It is very level with minimal road crossings. We will parallel Riverview Road and the Cuyahoga River for most our journey. Once we leave the Portage Path retail area, we will cycle a quiet, scenic portion of the trail.
We will meet in the Sand Run Big Bend Trailhead parking lot off of Merriman Road between Memorial Parkway and Portage Path. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes before our wheels-down time on this meet-up.
