Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail

Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail
Between Lisbon & Leetonia, Ohio

It is no coincidence that I made an effort to bike as much as I could this season and the summer of 2012 turned out to be one of the BEST ever.   With the help of websites like Traillink.com and recommendations from friends, Meg and I explored a few new trails including the Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail which runs ten miles between Lisbon and Leetonia, Ohio.  The Lisbon Trailhead has nice indoor bathrooms, vending machines and lots of parking.  The Leetonia Trailhead has Porta-potties, a gazebo and lots of information about the trail displayed.   

The Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail, which is a section of the larger, yet to be fully completed, Great Ohio Lake-to-River Greenway, was our find of the summer.  The path is paved, mostly shaded, fairly flat and very scenic- we rode past old farms, babbling brooks, a covered bridge, even a decorated Christmas tree.  But the very best part is that the highest elevations (still easy climbs) are in the middle of the trail, between miles 4 and 6, so no matter which end you start at, you’re going to be coasting down on the ride back.  Ahhh, what a relaxing way to wrap up a leisurely bike ride!
