Kipton was one of several important stops along the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad. It was also the site of a famous train wreck in 1891, that led to important changes in railroad safety. There is a plaque to commemorate the incident. While the railroad is no longer active, the North Coast Inland Trail runs through town.

The North Coast Inland Trail is a nearly 100-mile trail that runs through Lorain County. The section from Oberlin to Kipton starts in dense woods, but starts to transition into fields and farmland. The trail is mostly flat, so it is not a particularly challenging section.

Oberlin Depot was constructed in 1866 and was an important part of the community as it was the main access point to the town. In 1949, the passenger train that ran through town was decommissioned and the depot was no longer used. The building has been maintained, and now it is used as the trail head for the North Coast Inland Trail. You will find water, parking, and restrooms at the trailhead.

The North Coast Inland Trail is a 100-mile paved multiuse trail that connects the farmland of Western Lorain County with Elyria and Lorain. This section leads you into Elyria and passes through beautiful woodland.

Nice bike trails. Wooded with some single track.
