Cycling on the Bike & Hike Trail

Explore almost 70 miles of trails by bike in Summit Metro Parks.

BIKING TRAILS

Biking is permitted in several Metro Parks locations. Summit Metro Parks allows Class 1 and 2 e-bikes on its multipurpose trails.

It’s critical for visitor safety that trail users follow trail etiquette: Keep to the right and give an audible signal before passing on the left, travel in a single-file line and watch for pedestrians while maintaining a safe speed.

Starting near the Portage Hike & Bike Trail in Kent, this multipurpose trail – on land owned by METRO Regional Transit Authority – follows an unused railroad corridor. Phase II extends the trail to Eastwood Avenue in Akron. Phase III will end downtown near The University of Akron campus and Phase IV will connect the Freedom Trail to the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
