Some people like a pre-ride coffee, while others can't wait for their post-ride beer. As for me, nothing beats a mid-ride ice cream to cool down and rest for a while. If ice cream isn't your thing you they have a good selection of classic staples like burgers, hot dogs, nachos and more.

Did a 2 mile walk on this trail. Didn’t know how isolated I would feel being in an area that I was unfamiliar with but the trail runs behind backyards of neighborhood. I felt safe

Lock 4 Park, located about 20 miles south of Akron, features the historic "Fulton Lock," the fourth lock south of the Akron summit on the Ohio & Erie Canal. Built in 1827, this sandstone structure is one of 146 lift locks —mechanisms that raised or lowered boats between stretches of water at different elevations — enabling navigation along the canal's 1,000 feet of vertical relief from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Though no longer operational, the lock and surrounding park has long been a favored local picnic and fishing spot. The park also provides access to the Ohio & Erie Towpath Trail and includes amenities like a historic mill, picnic areas, a handicap-accessible fishing dock, and parking.

The St Helena Heritage Park is a beautiful park on the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail. The park has a picnic area, playground and ball fields. The park is on the outskirts of Canal Fulton, so if you need a place for a lunch break, you have the option to leave the trail and head into town.
