Ohio hosts more than 1,000 miles of the North Country National Scenic Trail.
What to expect
Rail trails, historic canal routes, sprawling state parks, urban segments, dense forests, and rugged public lands. Cross a variety of notable land units and features, including Wayne National Forest, Hocking Hills and Beaver Creek State Parks, various Metroparks, and the Maumee and Shawnee State Forests. The North Country Trail also shares a majority of its Ohio route with the Buckeye Trail.
Points of contact
Across the state, the trail is cared for predominantly by the
Buckeye Trail Association and one volunteer Chapter of the North Country Trail Association (NCTA). See the
Chapters page for contact information. There are also multiple NCTA
Trail Towns in Ohio, welcoming trail users and offering them a variety of resources.
