Paw Paw Trail

E-Bikes Unknown

Paw Paw is the entrance to the trail system at Turkey Run Park. A wide trail tread and a minimal amount of roots and rocks make this an ideal trail for families and new riders. The trail surface itself is very smooth dirt and there aren't really any obstacles. Climbs are easier than most trails in this area and you are rewarded with some nice downhills. The trail winds in and out through the hills as you are treated with great views atop the ridgelines.

Make sure to notice the Paw Paw trees for which the trail is named after. The Paw Paw tree produces a tropical like fruit that is a cross between a banana and a mango.

Be prepared to come across several creeks on your journey including the beautiful Turkey Run Creek which feeds into Floyd's Fork. You can connect to the Chinkapin Trail from Paw Paw to increase your ride distance. The trail flows well in both directions. This is just the start of an amazing trail system that is under construction as of fall 2015. Stay tuned for more!
