Broadway Ave. and heading south toward State St.
This 4.46 mile scenic trail offers fishing access to the Mahoning River and a great view of a bottom land hardwood forest. Spring flowers are abundant along the trail and include jack in the pulpit, false solomon’s seal, and swamp buttercup.
The Mahoning Valley Trail has been adopted by the University of Mount Union-Green Raiders, the club sponsors cleanup projects along the trail throughout the year.
