The Ohio to Erie Trail is a three hundred mile recreational trail
linking Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland following lands
formerly occupied by railroads and canals. Walkers, bicyclists,
bird watchers, cross-country skiers, and nature lovers enjoy the
Trail as it passes through quiet woods, lush fields, friendly small
towns, and dynamic urban centers. The Ohio to Erie Trail Fund
was founded in 1991 to advocate for the Trail and purchase land
for it.
The City of Westerville Parks and Recreation Department has joined
with other trail-building groups to help construct The Ohio to Erie
