I was there at the beginning of the fall season. It really was a very nice experience. The trail is completely paved and the whole circuit is almost 2 miles long. You can find free parking lots, shelters, benches and a playground, too. There are some walking bridges to cross over the creek and one part of the trail go around a small lake where some people use to fish. Everything is clean and neat. It’s a good place to go for walk, running, ride a bike or just to sitting down and relax, alone or with your loved ones. I liked it!
Always a great option to get a quick walk done. I believe the track is a mile, so depending on your ability it can take no time, or all the time you have at your leisure.
It’s great to see all of the changes of the seasons as well.
Awesome area to take photos. Lots of different spots
Great trail running several miles through the city of Canton alongside the West Branch of Nimishillen Creek. This trail passes by the McKinley Presidential Monument and the Professional Football Hall of Fame, as well as through several parks including Monument, Stadium, and Ink Parks.
I’ve recently moved from Akron to Canton. I love the parks and trails in Akron… and I really am enjoying the parks and trails here in Canton. I’ve been to this park many times throughout my life, having been born in Canton. It’s very nice to see how much this trail has come along over the years! Hopefully, the city and residents will continue to take pride in what we have right here!
