This newly-opened, 1-mile trail is located in Logan, Ohio, which is the gateway to the Hocking Hills.

Begin your journey on the crushed gravel surface that continues about 0.3 mile through the Old Town Creek Preserve.

Cross Front Street to find the 0.2 mile of asphalt trail that is near the Old Town Creek Bridge.

"It’s nice because it’s like nature. It’s tranquil. It’s not all flat so you’re getting a workout. And I really like the bridge. It feels like you’re going back in time."

Discover the second entrance to the trail at the lot for Aqueduct Park.

Continue on the grassy ballast to reach the old railroad grade where you can see the historic aqueduct arch bridge.

Travel over the aqueduct arch bridge to find the last 0.3 mile of the trail. The trail turns into a grassy ballast surface as you approach the railroad grade.

"I spent an hour or so walking and birding the Old Town Creek Trail and what a wonderful experience it was… We ran into a mixed flock of birds – cedar wax wings, yellow- rumped warblers, robins, hairy & downy wood peckers, Carolina wrens, kinglets and numerous more common species. It was a fun morning."

The trail ends at the active railroad tracks. Plans are under discussion to continue the trail beyond the railroad tracks.

The 57-acre Old Town Creek Preserve and Trail was purchased and developed with Clean Ohio Fund monies as well as donations from local individuals and organizations under the management of the Hocking Trailways Association (HTA).
