I took a ride on the Fredericktown, Ohio Bike Path and shot a complete time lapse video starting at the Fredericktown Community Park next to Sockman Lake and rode to the end of the path and then back to the park. This time lapse video took a 10 minute bike ride and made it into a 2 minute quick video that is worth watching. I hope you enjoy the ride.
I was on a real estate appointment this morning in village of Mount Liberty, Ohio which is located in the Centerburg Ohio School District between Mount Vernon and Centerburg on Route 3. When I finished my appointment I drove around the neighborhood for a few minutes and parked at the Heart of Ohio Trail for a few minutes scouting for a great place to capture a new community photo. If you are not familiar with the Hearth of Ohio Trail...visualize the Kokosing Gap Trail being located along route 3 and that will give you a good picture of what the Heart of Ohio Trail is like.

Heart of Ohio Trail. With only 3.7 miles of asphalt, the Heart of Ohio Trail is well-suited for trail riders and hikers. Parking is available at Centerburg Memorial Park giving a nice 7-plus mile round trip to the Delaware County line or an eastern trip to Mount Vernon, Ohio, of about 13 miles. The current paved section is near Mount Liberty and parking is available. Look for more paving work in 2011 to add another 3.5 miles connecting west to Updike Road. The Heart of Ohio Trail shares several miles with Dry Creek, passes near the Knox County Horse Park and through several area farms before ending near Parrot Street in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Watch out for wildlife crossing the trail!
The Heart of Ohio Trail is a part of the larger Ohio to Erie Trail system that when completed will connect Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. Maintained completely by volunteers, the Heart of Ohio Trail is currently best-suited for hybrid style bikes or mountain bikes. When the paving is completed, skaters will find a home as well. A 3-mile horse trail is planned near the Knox County Horse Park on Thayer Road and will run adjacent to the Heart of Ohio Trail. The future horse trail at the Heart of Ohio Trail will be a wonderful addition and is a significant point of difference between Heart of Ohio Trail and the Kokosing Gap Trail because the Kokosing Gap Trail doesn't allow horses.
