Wabash Cannonball Trail official route

The WABASH CANNONBALL TRAIL is a 66 mile multi-use recreational trail in Northwest Ohio. It provides non-motorized access to hikers, bikers, equestrians*, and cross-country skiers. The 12 foot wide trail surface varies within the different jurisdictions, from asphalt to hard packed cinder ballast. *Some jurisdictions may restrict horse traffic. The trail is a part of the nationwide movement to rejuvenate former railroad corridors into linear parks where people can enjoy the beauty and solitude of the outdoors while also providing a safe alternate mode of transportation between towns and villages along the route. There are more than 21,000 miles of rail-trails throughout the United States. View the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy web site for more information about rail-trails. Portions of the Wabash Cannonball Trail are also certified segments of the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST), a 4,600 mile long hiking trail stretching over eight states from North Dakota to Vermont and connecting the Lewis and Clark Trail in western North Dakota with the Appalachian Trail in upstate New York. The NCNST is administered by the National Park Service.
