National and State Trails merge in Mont. County

The entire North Country National Scenic Trail is a premier footpath that stretches for about 4,600 miles linking communities, forests, and prairies across seven northern states. In Ohio, the NCT generally follows the Buckeye Trail, but diverges from it or is planned to in several locations. The Buckeye Trail winds nearly 1444 miles around Ohio, reaching into every corner of the state. From a beachhead on Lake Erie near Cleveland, to a hilltop overlooking the Ohio River in Cincinnati, a hiker can experience a little of all that Ohio has to offer.

In Montgomery County, these trails run together through the following MetroParks:
