Buckeye Trail winds 1447 miles around Ohio, reaching into every corner of the state. From a beachhead on Lake Erie near Cleveland to a hilltop overlooking the Ohio River in Cincinnati, a hiker can experience a little of all that Ohio has to offer. The Buckeye Trail Association is a large, strong body of volunteers who maintain and promote the trail. Though the entire route is marked, the Buckeye Trail continues to change and improve. The BTA looks for ways to move road sections off the roads and to upgrade those off-road sections to high-quality trails.
