WASHINGTON RECREATION TRAIL PT 2

Part 2 of the Washington Recreation Trail begins where part 1 ended on Dallas Rd across from Royal Ct. This walk took about 35 minutes to complete since I decided to use Cummings Ln as a turnaround point. As it is in part 1 the trail is paved and marked with white stripes in the center to create lanes for cyclists. This section of the trail cuts between the block of a residential area (sort of where an alley might be) and offers a view of, well, mostly backyards. After about 5 minutes you cross Grandyle Dr and at about 10 minutes there is a small decline/incline in the trail as you come to an open field to the left and a small pond to the right. As you pass the pond a few minutes later you come upon farmland to the left and you can see Cummings Ln ahead. Continue past the back of Akron Brass Company on your right to Cummings Ln and turn around and head back after about 17 minutes of walking. The morning sun offers little or no shade and the pavement is mostly level with no obstacles except for the occasional cyclist or jogger. As I said before, you are walking near the backyards of a residential area so you are fairly visible. I parked on Royal Ct. 

DIRECTIONS FROM THE SQUARE: West on Peoria Street. Right on Wilmor Rd. Left on Newcastle. Right on Dallas Rd to Royal Ct.
