Description
Wonderfully beautiful, and just less than technical. This trail is made up of two loops( north 10mi & south loop
13 mi). The trail is a 3 out of 5 in difficulty, with 3 spots that make the trail a workout. One comes at the 17 mile mark and if you are prepared you may be surprised of this level of difficulty in Ohio. Note: I have done this park a couple of time in partial and once complete(8hrs 24 min). Best advise: Start with the north loop counter clockwise, then go into the south lood clockwise. I seem to make less mistakes this way.

Directions to Hike
From Columbus south on 23 to to Circleville get off the exit to 56 east. Continue to 180 south. Shortly after getting on 180, go straight on 327. From there its 7 mi to park entrance. Enter the park continue past the ranger office (unless you need a map) and turn into the large parking lot below the dam. The trail for the north loop is east back up to the main road. The south loops start to the west. Walk toward the drain system and cross.
