good question - I’m also curious
earlier this summer we did two rides on the ART ... rode the ART from Emlenton through the two tunnels up to the gravel connector road - and then more recently from Franklin down to the gravel road / connector trail
the odd thing is it appears the paved trail continues through the private property ... some of the owner’s stuff appears to be sitting on the paved trail
