Ohio's Buckeye Trail

by Norman Fox

Ohio's Buckeye Trail is the longest loop hiking trail in the United States. Following wooded footpaths, multipurpose trails, canal towpaths, country roads, rivers, and lake shores, the Buckeye Trail offers access to the history and scenery of the Buckeye State. Travelers on foot get a unique perspective of Ohio as the Buckeye Trail passes through state and local forests and parks as well as small towns and urban areas. Beginning at the northern terminus at Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie, the trail traverses the state in a clockwise direction. The Ohio Buckeye Trail Association is a nonprofit organization formed in 1959. Led by volunteers, the association works in close partnership with communities, landowners, and organizations around Ohio to develop, maintain, and promote the trail. Open to all at no cost, the Buckeye Trail is popular with day hikers, runners, backpackers, and those interested in thru-hiking the entire loop.

I was extremely disappointed with this book. I expected this book to show more of the trails and trailheads and talk more about sections of the trail. Instead, we are shown generalized photos of what you "may" see as you hike along or in the vicinity(?) of the trail.

Only 3-4 pics of more than 100 were truly dedicated to the trail or trailhead.

Better titles for this book may have been Along Ohio's Buckeye Trail or The History of the Area Surrounding Ohio's Buckeye Trail.
