After a great response with the WRGT GeoTrail over the years. It is time to relaunch the trail for it's 10th anniversary. The 1st WRGT GeoTrail was launched June 9th 2012. It has now been decided to relaunch it for a 4th time.
Multiple cachers that make up "Western Reserve Geocachers" will all be hiding caches along the WRGT. Trail launch date is June 18th 2022. The Western Reserve Greenway Trail (WRGT) GeoTrail is a 26 mile long paved trail owned by Ashtabula County Metroparks.
The trail receives no public funds and is up kept only by grants and donations. It is totally maintained by volunteers so please keep trail beautiful and as always CITO. A volunteer bike patrol that also helps to maintain the trail, offer information and help for visitors to the trail.
Ashtabula Metroparks now has a Ranger that also patrols the trail. Feel free to Walk or Bike the trail and site see along the way. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail other than snowmobiles during winter. There are many bridges and sites to see. Benches are located in various places along the trail to stop and take a break. Make sure you take the time to discover our bench along the trail.
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.
