Wabash Cannonball Trail
The Wabash Cannonball Trail is a 63-mile non-motorized, multi-use trail traversing four counties. Ownership is divided among six separate entities:
- Toledo Metroparks
- Lucas County
- Maumee
- Whitehouse

- Northwestern Ohio Rails-to-Trails Association, Inc. (NORTA)
The trail is comprised of two former rail lines, originally established by the Wabash Railroad, that converge in Maumee near Jerome Road. The North Fork of the trail runs in an east-west direction, 46 miles from Maumee to within 12 miles of the Indiana state line near Montpelier, Ohio. The South Fork takes a southwesterly route from Maumee to the edge of Liberty Center, Ohio for a length of 17 miles.
