Ohio's Buckeye Trail

What is the Buckeye Trail?

The Buckeye Trail is a hiking trail located entirely within the state of Ohio. It includes 40 of Ohio's 88 counties and includes 1,444 miles of hiking. The trail covers a wide variety of terrain as well as rural areas, small towns and larger communities.

The trail passes through the southwest corner of Ottawa County, Sandusky County, as well as Seneca, Huron, Southern Lorain, Medina and Cuyahoga Counties in North Central Ohio.

There are some campsites available along the trail, however at this point there are not enough to enable campers to camp along the trail every night. Use of the trail is free and open to the public. Just follow the blue blazes and enjoy the beauty of Ohio.
