Confirmed from Western Reserve Greenway - Herzog Rotary Park Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Peaceful spot to walk, bike, and picnic, including a well-groomed trail.

“Clean, open parking space and nice pavilion.”
“- Asphalt trail about 8 feet wide - Shady - A few bumps from roots but not bad - Not many people on the trail - Mostly flat or a very slight grade - Not beautiful but worth seeing”

A nice peaceful place to sit under gazebo have a picnic or go for a walk.
We parked here to ride/scoot the trail. The parking area was nice, with a gazebo and a porta john. The trail was beautiful. I liked riding through the woods and all the bridges. Riding under 90 was kind of fun. I’ve been on smoother paved trails but the bumps weren’t too bad.
My first ride started from Herzog Access Parking Lot on a Saturday morning. The Lot was clean and not very busy. The bike trail was well maintained and not overly crowded. Yes I crossed several roads during my ride but was cautious and had no difficulties.
We rode our bikes from Woodman to Sanborn Road. The trail was pretty well kept. The parking lot was not. There were large black garbage bags along the far spots closest to the woods with an old small tv by them. It isn't the parks fault that the community cannot keep things nice.
