The more interesting portion of this bike path for birding heads northeast from the Reddington Road parking lot, under the intersection, and into a forested strip along the Raccoon Creek greenway. The spur south to Main Street is pretty urban and not much good for birds. The riverside bike path crosses an old railroad bridge and weaves between the river, some small hills, and the freeway, up to the Church Street exit on the freeway. To the east of that, it mostly runs along the freeway berm all the way to Flory Park and is too noisy for good birding.

The T.J. Evans trail is one of Ohio’s first rail trails and features great scenery and history from Newark to Johnstown in Licking County.

Restroom facilities are located at the Johnstown parking lot, Wildwood Park in Granville, and Flory Park in Newark.
