The Buckeye Trail
The Adventure…
Follow the Blue Blazes! A trail that connected the Ohio River to Lake Erie was first envisioned in the late 1950s. Today, the Buckeye Trail covers nearly 1,444 miles as it loops around the state, winding through some of Ohio’s most spectacular natural areas. The trail is marked by 2” wide by 6” long blue blazes on trees and poles. Hikers can experience the whole trail or can select a variety of shorter hikes. Four sections of the trail – the Stockport, New Straitsville, Old Man’s Cave, Scioto Trail, Sinking Spring Sections – traverse Morgan, Athens, Vinton, and Pike Counties taking visitors through some of the trail’s most picturesque areas and historic places.
