The Buckeye Trail’s Biggest Day Hike 2024
We had a beautiful day to hike for our Biggest Day Hike 2024. If you hiked, thank you for helping us try to achieve our goal.
The Buckeye Trail Association is celebrating National Trails Day, on June 1st, with an attempt to hike as much of the Buckeye Trail as we can in a single day. With everyone pledging to hike a small segment of the trail, collectively completing all 1,400+ miles of the whole trail is not such a far-fetched idea!
National Trails Day, sponsored by the American Hiking Society on the first Saturday of June, is a day of public events aimed at advocacy and trail service, celebrating the local, state, and federal trails that provide people access to nature and recreational activities. The BTA is happy to host this free event in conjunction with the American Hiking Society and our Buckeye Trail partners.
We'll see how much of the Buckeye Trail we can hike together. Join in the Biggest Day Hike by signing up to hike a segment of the Buckeye Trail on National Trails Day. Then join in one of the post-hike celebrations throughout the state or help with trail maintenance! Some parts of the Buckeye Trail are open to biking or horseback riding and other parts of the Buckeye Trail run parallel to a river for canoeing/kayaking. These alternatives are valid ways to cover a segment where such activities are allowed.
