The Western Reserve Greenway Trail (WRGT) is a 26 mile long paved trail owned by Ashtabula County Metroparks. The trail receives no public funds and is instead funded by grants and donations.
The WRGT is maintained by volunteers, including a volunteer bike patrol that also helps to maintain the trail by offering information and assistance to those using the trail. Please do your part and CITO as you Walk or Bike your way along the trail.
Note: No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail (other than snowmobiles during the winter months).
There are many bridges and sites to see along the way. Benches are located in various places along the trail for you to stop and take a break. For the most part the trail is well shaded and also has a nice pavilion area at the Lampson Rd staging area in Austinburg. Other parking areas are located at West Ave in Ashtabula, Woodman Ave in Ashtabula, Old Austinburg Rd in Saybrook, SR 307 in Austinburg, Eagleville Jefferson Rd, Station St in Rock Creek and Penniman Rd in Orwell just south of US 322.
The 2022 edition of the WRGT GeoTrail features approximately 150 geocaches, utilizing a variety of cache types, containers, sizes, and D/T ratings. The geocaches have been published by several local geocachers collectively known as the "Western Reserve Geocachers".
In order to earn the Geocoin you must complete the whole 26 miles of trail and write down 2 code words from each mile of trail into the passport. Each mile has at least 3 or 4 code words. Words are located on lids and or logs along with the mile number. Once you have completed the trail and have your 52 code words you can receive your coin from the ACC&VB located at (GC2ZNZW).
