I found the trail after going up and down akron-pen road for 30 min. if you are comming from bath rd. (twards mearman rd.) it will be on your left. You will see the road take a slight incline. Keep your eyes on the fence. You will see the fence shoot up a hill. Looking at the hill the trail is on the right side. walk up to the fence you will see a small path. Go up that!!! Throw your bike under the fence and you will off on your way. Watch the cops... If somebody wants to go hit the trail let me know aim: LifeIsGoodMTB .. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Great trails with plenty to choose from. A lot of trees down the last few times I've been there, the place will be excellent with some work.

I know this trail. I ride it every Sunday morning. The land is owned by the city of Akron but is leased to Waste Management, who runs the dump adjacent to the trails. I hear it used to be much better than it is today, but the hardy boys are working to make it better. Ill post directions when I can. We enter under a fence on a small hillside right across from the wastewater treatment plant. We park down the road at the park.
