Do it all. Or do half. End to End a beautiful long or short smart-guided bikeway adventure to the Bridge of Dreams in Ohio's Amish country.
If you are looking to get in a long or short bikeway ride through wooded countryside then move this one to the top of your short list. Here's why - the majority of the route is a rail-to-trail, quite rural, and has a flexible total length with optional starting spots. Most of the tour runs alongside or crosses over three scenic rivers - Mohican River, Jelloway Creek, and Kokosing River - using three rails-to-trails bikeways: Mohican Valley Trail, Kokosing Gap Trail, and Heart of Ohio Trail.
At the tour's turnaround spot is Ohio's famous Bridge of Dreams, which "happens to be the second-longest covered bridge in the state and the third-longest in the nation". The bridge serves as a link for the Amish equestrian community connecting the Holmes County Trail - "the first recreational trail in the country designed to accommodate Amish horse-drawn buggies -to the Mohican Valley Trail. At moments you may be sharing the trail with horse-drawn Amish buggies.
Along the route is a small-town America refreshment stop at a quaint tasty spot. Restroom facilities are conveniently positioned along the bikeway. With numerous scenic vistas and railroad history to take in, this memory making tour often experiences ooh-and-ahh stops along with group and selfie poses.
