C-470 Trail

Description

The C-470 Trail is an off road bike path that stretches along the entire distance of C-470 and even a short portion of E-470.

Difficulty

The path is very easy with only a few only rolling hills. The wind tends to be the greatest challenge because the highway tends to kick up the wind in one direction or another.

The Route

The path can be accessed along the entire stretch of C-470 and E-470 up to 2 miles before Parker road.

 

Hazards

The path crosses major intersections along the entire route making it difficult to cross even when a crosswalk is provided.  The underpass that goes under Wadsworth is very poorly maintained by C-DOT and is often filled with water and debris.

Overall Rating:

The off road path is one of the longest in the area. However, the path has only small stretches of pretty scenery, it is very noisy from the highway traffic, it is bumpy, and the numerous dangerous intersections make for a lot of stop and go riding.
