This update applies to map editions printed prior to April 2018.

Hopkins Road in Mentor between Hendricks Rd and Plaines Rd closed for 6 months for highway work beginning on Friday, April 27, 2018. This location is a little South of Point 29 as shown in the Bedford Section Map Edition of February 2012. Even though Hopkins Road will reopen, the BTA is making a permanent route change to ensure safer hiking. Said change is shown below in new text added at the end of the present text written under Point 28. See below. This change will increase the length of trail in the Bedford Section by only 0.16 miles.

Facilities: G to E, R to E and W. BT continues N on Hopkins Rd past schools and cemetery. Trail follows a paved bicycle path N across Jackson St and gradually turns NW through industrial area. Shortly after crossing above SR 2 at the intersection of Hopkins Rd, Munson Rd and Market St, BT turns NE still along Hopkins Rd past Civic Center Park. In 1400’ across from Pinewood Court, BT turns NW away from Hopkins Rd and descends to cross Marsh Creek in wooded area. Bikeway turns N as it comes in view of Mentor Civic Arena (P, WC) and returns to Hopkins Rd at Rosewood Lane. BT continues N along Hopkins Rd. After 0.13 mi, exit Hopkins Rd W onto Hendricks Rd. At the end of Hendricks Rd (0.35 mi), turn N onto Center St. After 0.4 mi at the intersection of Center St, Plaines Rd and Hopkins Rd, rejoin Hopkins Rd and continue N.
