The grant will be used to improve 3,500 feet of trail on the north side of the Little Cuyahoga River between Kelly Avenue and Seiberling Street, said Michelle DiFiore, an Akron senior engineer.
The trail project will follow improvements scheduled to get under way next spring to improve the stream.
That work calls for creating a more natural stream channel, expanding the flood plain and restoring the riparian corridor from Martha Avenue to the proposed Seiberling Way.
The stream work is being funded by $2.9 million in federal stimulus funds.
That project will create a basic trail along the stream in what's called Middlebury Park, and the infusion of state funds will enable Akron to improve and pave that trail, DiFiore said.
Akron had requested $888,000, she said.
The project's total price tag is nearly $1.3 million, she said.
The improved trail also will be the first leg of what's called the Rubber City Heritage Trail, a proposed trail that would run from Goodyear west to the popular Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail and south to the former Firestone complex, now owned by Bridgestone America.
Three other local trail projects won state funds:
--Metro Parks, Serving Summit County, $250,000 for the construction of the Freedom Secondary Trail that would run on an old rail line from Akron's Northside Station through Tallmadge to the Tallmadge-Kent border. The 4.1-mile trail is projected to cost nearly $4.2 million.
--Stark County Park District, $121,000 for Phase 3 of the Hoover Park Connector Trail in North Canton. The project calls for extending the trail into downtown North Canton and north from the park into a residential area. The total price tag is $311,930.
--City of Canton, $265,000 to build 1.8 miles of trail and a bridge. The new trail will link to the existing Plain Center Trail and will start at the northern part of Martindale Park. The total price is $445,000.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources awarded 25 grants totaling $6.25 million. Local communities must provide at least a 25 percent match.
Clean Ohio Trail Funds are one of four elements of the Clean Ohio Fund that voters approved in 2000, creating a $400 million bond fund. Voters in 2008 extended the program.
To date, the trail fund has awarded $31 million toward the creation of 228 miles of trails and the acquisition of 50 acres of abandoned railroads and greenways.
