The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, spanning over 90 miles as of 2022, is set to reach 101 miles upon completion. Stretching from Canal Basin Park in Cleveland to Canal Lands Park in New Philadelphia, Ohio, this trail traces the historic path where mules once pulled canal boats between 1827 and 1913. Today, the trail aligns with the historic towpath as closely as possible, guided by old maps and remaining traces. Visitor centers along the route offer insights into the cultural, historic, natural, and recreational significance of the trail.
This section of the trail is compacted dirt. Although the ride is comfortable, use caution when wet.
