Wabash Cannonball Trail

Love this trail! We biked the full 66 miles from Liberty Center to Montpelier. ~25 miles are paved, the rest is gravel (rocks, grass, mud) so a mountain or gravel bike is a must if you want to do the whole thing. Love the scenery and change of terrain. The stretch from Wauseon to Montpelier was a bit of a challenge! 💪

The bats are everywhere at night swooping down on you and in front of your face . Don't ride too fast the road has a few bumps that can't be seen in time.People let their horse poop and leave it for others to pedal through. Metro Park area zone 2 and 1 I call the triangle was so neat little nuggets of wonderful here and there alot of bikers ,great safe place Everytime it seems like too much there was a road crossing and towns,felt very safe.friendly bikers everywhere.

We love walking the trail! We've managed to cover about 15 miles of it so far... We pick up where we stopped each time. We love seeing how the terrain changes each mile and seeing what we can find along the way! Highly recommend geocaching along the way!

Enjoyed the first 2 miles from montpelier to county rd 15 in williams county plan to do more but this was our first foray into the trail outside oak openings

We had a great time walking dowalking down the scene trail trail by ourselves with the dog.

I just love this trail. Can’t wait to explore more of it

Walked the whole trail in one go (about 15 1/2 hours.)

Good variety. Mostly paved on the Eastern sections (Eastern 10 miles on South Fork, Eastern 16 miles on North fork.)

Varying degrees of dirt/double track/grassy trail in all other sections. Very flat. Portions feel more remote than it actually is.

This is a beautiful trail for hiking or running. I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for biking as it’s mostly gravel and somewhat overgrown by grass here at the western terminus

Beautiful day for a ride.

Super cool place to walk

Arthur D. Robison was Chief Clerk for the Montpelier Div of Wabash RR during the 1940s-1950s. His desk was in the Montpelier Yard Office that was located at the end of S East Ave where it meets the Wabash tracks. He also was an amateur photographer. When there was a train accident in his area, he photographed the scene. The old B&W photos posted here were certainly taken under those unfortunate conditions. My hope is that people who walk the Trail enjoy the "Then" images as they experience the "Now".

Nice during the fall. Summer has many bugs.

I just went on the west end of this trail. It is not paved over this portion and was very muddy. I could not get too far with my recumbent bike. If this trail gets paved, it would be quite nice I think.
