Wayne National Forest
Welcome to the Wayne National Forest located in the hills of southeastern Ohio. The Forest is a patchwork ownership that covers over a quarter million acres of Appalachian foothills. The Forest is divided into three units managed out of two Ranger District offices located in Nelsonville and Ironton, with a field office in Marietta.
The Forest features over 300 miles of trails for hiking, all-terrain vehicle riding, mountain biking, or horseback riding in season. The trails are open from April 15th through December 15th. Come visit the Wayne and hike or ride our trails!
Discover the wonder and beauty of the Wayne National Forest. Tucked away in the Appalachian foothills, you'll experience the natural beauty of wildflowers, rocks formations, trees, butterlfies, and baundant wildlife.
Explore the Forest's hills, fishing lakes, rivers, and trails. Every season holds its own special beauty: the white dogwoods and pink redbuds of spring; summer's emerald hills reflected in quiet lakes; the colorful pallet of autumn; and the shimmering beauty of a new snowfall. Campgrounds sheltered under towering trees and thousands of acres open to hunting and nature study await your visit.
