Part 3 of Washington Recreation Trail picks up where Part 2
left off at Cummings Ln near Akron Brass Company. The trail takes you south on
Cummings Ln across Washington Rd to Kern Rd where you turn left and continue to
Wilmore Rd. According to the map the trail ends shortly after turning left on Wilmore
but you could continue back across Peoria St. (Washington Rd) and pick up the
trail next to the High School football field parking lot, thus creating a nice
loop. The problem with this section for me is that it is next to a high volume
of car traffic on Cummings and doesn’t improve much on Kern or Wilmore. I
prefer areas that are a little quieter and offer scenery other than industrial
buildings and houses so I did not walk the Cummings section of the trail. I
have walked the remaining portion at various times up to about where the map
ends on Wilmore. There is some farmland on the left side of the latter part of
the Kern Rd section but otherwise it’s car traffic and neighborhoods. Not much
more to report about this section other than it is paved (sidewalk) and you
will be highly visible. This section covers about 2.7 miles and would take
longer than 30 minutes.
DIRECTIONS FROM THE SQUARE: West on Peoria Street which
turns into Washington Rd. Right on Cummings Ln. Begins near Akron Brass
Company.
DRIVE TIME: About 5
minutes
