New Bike Trail

project between the Flatlanders Bicycle Club and the Sandusky County Park District in 2019. The Flatlanders completed the trail and dedicated it in October 2020, and it has been a hit with locals and visitors alike.

The trail is not just for mountain bikers; it’s also open for hikers. It’s recommended that hikers hike the trail in reverse and stay alert for oncoming bike traffic. Please note that no horseback riding, pets, or motorized vehicles are permitted on the trail.

If you’re planning to visit the area, Gibsonburg is a small rural northern Ohio farm town in Sandusky County, known for “White Star Park,” which offers hiking trails, an inland quarry lake for SCUBA diving, and mountain bike trails. And if you’re a foodie, you can’t miss out on Ideal Bakery, which is known for its amazing donuts, pastries, and cinnamon rolls.

But that’s not all the area has to offer. Just 15 minutes up the road is Fremont and Ghoul Runnings Kayak Adventures. This kayak livery offers guided and self-guided tours along the scenic Sandusky River and the beautiful Fremont Reservoir from May to Fall. The owners, Beth Turner and her husband Bob, have been running it for 33 years, and they offer a variety of 2- and 4-hour trips, as well as specialty adventures, including a history tour, singles kayaking group, bird and nature, sunset, moonlight, and more.

Sandusky County has plenty to see and do, from kayaking in the Sandusky River to festivals and farmer’s markets. There is always something fun to see and do in the area, making it the perfect destination for an extended weekend getaway.
