The Ohio to Erie Trail
travels
300
miles from the Ohio
River in downtown Cincinnati
to the rolling hills of rural
Amish country and on to the
sandy shores of Lake Erie in
downtown Cleveland. When
the trail is finally complete—
more than 70 percent of it is
open for use—it will be the
longest paved off-road trail in
the country. Along the way, it
showcases the best of Ohio.

Known as “Howard Tunnel,” the stone
archway carrying U.S. Route 36 over the
Kokosing Gap Trail in Knox County provides
a perfect frame for Ohio’s scenic charm.
