Looking to go and take our bikes. What attractions are you able to bike to and what town would be best to stay in to get on the bike path to visit the waterfalls and ledges. Not even sure how far they are from any Little town. Thinking of Penninsula ?

The train has a bike and ride pass. I’d suggest taking the Towpath Trail in one direction then take the train to get back. It’s 19.5 miles and covers the park from one end to the other and hits all the locations you mentioned. All it takes to flag the train down is to wave your hands above your head at the conductor. More importantly, please arrive 10 minutes prior to the train’s scheduled arrival, you can pay your fare when you board or at any park visited center. Passes are $50 and are not included with the National Park Annual Pass. At this time there are two places to stay inside the park itself. Inn at Brandywine Falls Open All Year 8230 Brandywine Road Sagamore Hills, OH 44067 (330) 467-1812 Stanford House Open All Year 6093 Stanford Road Peninsula, OH 44264 (330) 657-2909 There’s some camping spots in the area as well that are managed and clean but there’s no overnight parking in the park. The outside camping require permits and there isn’t any BLM land in Ohio for free camping. Ottawa Overlook Backcountry Site Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park Punderson State Park Portage Lakes State Park West Branch State Park Towpath Trail Camping Opportunities For Summit County, please call (330)867-5511 For Stark County, please call (330)477-3552
Isn't there any way to find the GPS coordinates to the parking lot for Brandywine Falls? Doing a quick driveby and really would like to just navigate to the parking site via Google maps instead of having to manually find my way.
A:
Or use this plus code in google maps app 7FG5+MW Northfield, Ohio
What are the your favorite towpath areas to bike? We will bike out/back about 15-20 miles each way. We will be there 2 days. And, can anyone recommend hotels near the trail heads (prefer Marriott properties). Thanks.
A:
This was my first time there and we just hiked and did not bike, but the bike paths I saw looked very mice but I do not recall the names
