This portion of the Maple Highlands Trail is along the freeway and is generally pretty noisy. It is fairly open running along a powerline corridor with trees on either side. At some points there are trees between the powerline cut and the trail.

The all-purpose Maple Highlands Trail stretches a total of 21.1 miles through beautiful hardwood forests, unique wetlands, and tranquil pastoral scenery common to Geauga County. The trail also features two award-winning covered bridges. Western Reserve Land Conservancy helped Geauga Park District conserve 196 acres of inaccessible wetlands and wet forest habitat adjacent to the park’s Maple Highland Trail.
