Hi all... heard a rumor today, while actually it was from a pretty good source that the genius that was charging for people to ride Wellsville lost his "lease". Supposedly it's back to free riding again. Can anyone from that area or who has been there recently confirm this... Thanks

 

Yes I can confirm it. The road block and trailer are gone.Free riding is back at last.

I've heard about 4 different reasons why he left.but after being there on sunday I'd say just good common sense.The trails are in real bad condition from lack of riders and he did put some time and money into fixing up the road after you cross the tracks.I think he probably was just losing money like crazy and got out while he still could.

It's been over two weeks since he left so I'don't think it's just a trick.

If I get my rear bearings back in by sunday I'll be there again this week.

How about some directions to Wellsville from Akron, I'd probably be coming down 77 or 71 I'm sure. Thanks

 

Now to get there, you need to take I-76 east it will turn into I-80 east to SR11 South. Follow 11 south for about 40 or so miles into East Liverpool. Follow the Rt. 7 South past E.Liverpool for about 5-8 miles to Wellsville. Exit into Wellsville. Now Wellsville is literally a SMALL town that is sandwiched between RT 7 and the Ohio River. When you exit turn left off the off ramp to the first main road (city street) you come to and turn right. Start looking for tall white silos (they look kinda like small grain silos) grouped
together. This is a aggregate plant and the entrance to the riding area (the road in has a sign calling the area there some named Industrial Park). Follow this road in... BE WARNED, the road condition back to the riding area is REALLY BAD... slow slow slow. You will travel this thing they call a road about 2 miles in and will come to a right turn that goes up a hill (past the small house and driveway) turn up this hill you will see a camping area to your left, cross the RR tracks and your in. Find a place to park and ENJOY!!!!

 

Sounds like an interesting place.
How are the trails now?????
Question really is...would it be worth a 1 and 1/2 hour drive????

later...

 

No question there. I only live 5 minutes away from it but I'd drive 2 hours easy.I have driven further for far less area and far less fun.
