Sippo Valley Trail

 

Trail leading up to bridge with decking on sideBike, hike, walk, or jog over ten miles between Massillon and Dalton in Wayne County, ending just north of Rt. 30. The Sippo Valley Trail also connects to the 26 mile Towpath Trail at the west side of Tremont Ave. in Massillon.

An asphalt trail surface transitions to limestone between Skyland Ave. and Deerfield Ave. The flat, gentle grades parallel Sippo Creek for much of the route.

Hit the trail with your pet! Just remember that dogs must be leashed at all times, and owners must dispose of pet waste properly.

Pull-off parking is available at Bison Ave./27th St., Kenyon Ave., and Alabama Ave.  A 15-car Trailhead is located at Skyland Ave.  Parking lots at Lincoln Park and Bottoms Park are maintained by the City of Massillon and have close access to the trail.

Part of the former Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad bed, the Stark County portion of the trail came under Stark Parks’ management in June 2015.
