The Ohio & Erie Canal via The Summit County Trail
This trip includes three separate trails - The Summit County Hike and Bike Trail, The Cleveland Metro Park Trail, and The Ohio & Erie Canal. The trail surface varies and at times follows rural roads and residential streets. The Ohio & Erie Canal section is asphalt and crushed limestone and is completed as noted below. Plans are under way to extend this trail from both ends. Manatoc Boy Scout Camp is easily accessible via bike from Peninsula, OH.
