Cherry Street Creamery

Highlight • Restaurant

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.

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.
