Project Title: Ohio-DNR Straker Hiking Trail Phase 2
Project Solicitation Number (if any): SRC0000017366
Project Description: Straker Trail Phase 2 will add nearly 20 miles of professionally designed and constructed natural surface hiking trail through Jesse Owens State Park and the Appalachian Hills Wildlife Area. The trail, once complete, will connect to the Buckeye Trail west of Belle Valley in Noble County, pass through Muskingum County near The Wilds and join the Buckeye Trail again in Morgan County near the Dyes Run Trailhead. This trail will be a non-motorized, all weather, natural surface hiking trail that weaves through the various terrain created by previous surface mining and resultant mine reclamation work.
The first phase of trail, approximately 5.5 miles, is already in contract and will begin construction Spring 2024 through southeast Muskingum County all of which is through previously disturbed mine lands. This project, Phase 2, will connect to Phase 1 on both ends and make not only the Buckeye Trail connection but also bring together existing campgrounds, parking areas, and other various points of interest.
