Spencerville – Trail Town Dedication coming in 2024

The Buckeye Trail Association welcomes Spencerville as the 21st Trail Town. Spencerville is a small rural, agricultural community of around 2200 residents, in northwest Ohio, west of Lima. The formation of the village is directly due to Spencerville being located on the Miami and Erie Canal. The canal was opened for traffic in 1844. The village was laid out for Tyler, McConnell, and Conover of Dayton when they purchased a tract of 350 acres and built a mill at the upper lock.

The name was bestowed in honor of Colonel Spencer, a member of the State Board of Public Works in 1848 and an ardent supporter of canal-building enterprises. This area of Ohio in the 1800s still had wooded forests that supplied lumber mills and stave factories in Spencerville. The narrow-gauge railroad entered the village in 1878 and 4 years later the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad connected the village in direct communication with the east and west.

Spencerville continues the historic nature of the Miami and Erie towpath for the trail user. The village falls ten miles between the Trail Towns of St Marys and Delphos, making it the perfect day hike length for a section hiker. With ample parking, Spencerville can be a perfect staging town to recreate out of, whether it is hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, bird watching, or family walks.

Spencerville is the beginning location for the annual ‘Memorial to Memorial on Memorial’ hike. This hike begins at Spencerville Area Veterans Memorial Park, following the Buckeye Trail⁄Miami & Erie Towpath to the Delphos Veterans Memorial in Delphos on Memorial Day.

Fort Loramie – Trail Town Dedication September 23, 2023

The Buckeye Trail Association welcomes Fort Loramie as the 20th Trail Town on September 23, 2023. Fort Loramie, in the St Marys Section, is a village in Shelby County, along Loramie Creek, a tributary of the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio, 42 miles north-northwest of Dayton.

The village of Fort Loramie is an original canal town along the Miami & Erie Canal. It was first established as a trading post by a French-Canadian fur trader Pierre-Louis de Lorimier (Peter Loramie). The indigenous Shawnee people used the post for attacks against the European settlers during the Revolutionary War. The post was burnt to the ground and abandoned in 1782, remaining vacant until 1795. After the victory of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, General “Mad” Anthony Wayne ordered a fort built at the site. The fort stood on the portage between St Mary’s River and Loramie Creek a half mile north of the present town. It was used as one of the demarcation points in the Treaty of Greenville in 1795.

When work started building the Miami-Erie Canal in 1836, German immigrants were the main labor pool building the canal. The immigrants then purchased land and became permanent settlers. The canal opened in 1841, bringing finished goods to the area, and taking farm and wood products back to the cities. The village was originally called Berlin. The town's name was officially changed to Fort Loramie in 1911. The canal system had diminished by this time, as a result of the railroad networks expanding in all directions. The canal, which ran through the center of town was cleaned up and turned into a community park.

An important feature remaining from the canal days is Lake Loramie, the feeder lake manually constructed to keep the canal filled with water. It is now a state park and a haven for fishing, boating, camping, and vacationers. In recent years, a self-funded research group conducting archaeological digs has rediscovered the site of both Pierre-Louis de Lorimier’s trading post in 2013 and the north wall of the original stockade in 2020.

Delphos – Trail Town Dedication September 17, 2022

Delphos Trail Town Dedication will be Saturday, September 17, 2022 in Delphos, Ohio. The ceremony will be at 11:30 am at the Delphos Canal Museum at 241 North Main Street. A short reception will follow at the museum. This dedication is on Day 3 of Canal Days, Delphos' end of summer, premier festival. 2022 is the 60th Canal Days Festival in Delphos.

Delphos is located on the northwest portion on the Buckeye Trail in Allen and Van Wert Counties, and was formed in 1851 from 4 small towns. It was a major port on the Miami and Erie Canal, an early hub for narrow gauge railroads and on the original route of the Lincoln Highway. By 1879, there were over a hundred factories churning out goods for the world, and even today the city enjoys an international reputation as a manufacturing center.

The City of Delphos is very proud of their history with two museums located on Main Street to reflect this. The Delphos Canal Commission Museums chronicles the history of Delphos, Northwest Ohio and the Miami and Erie Canal. The museum displays more than a quarter million stamps, antique postal vehicles, mailboxes, historic postal media and much more with a newly opened second floor.

Delphos welcomed the Buckeye Trail in 1975 by offering its city parks for camping to hikers and looks forward to welcoming more outside adventurers into the future.

Spring Valley – Our Newest Trail Town Was Dedicated August 22, 2022

Spring Valley is a village located in the southwestern portion of the state, in Greene County, in the Caesar Creek section. It was built on a slope rising from the banks of the Little Miami River, benefiting from many natural springs in the area. It was founded in 1844 and was at the crossroad of two early transportation routes, the Cincinnati-Xenia Pike and the Little Miami Railroad, which allowed it to become established as an agricultural marketing and processing center for the area.

The Buckeye Trail enters Spring Valley from the east, following Old US 42 into the village, where it joins and runs concurrently with the Little Miami Scenic Trail north. Primitive camping is available at Constitution Park with access to the Little Miami River for kayak or canoe launching.

Wakeman – Trail Town Dedication June 25, 2022

Buckeye Trail Association welcomed Wakeman as the 17th Buckeye Trail Town on June 25th with Wakeman village officials at the Wakeman Community Park. Afterwards, the celebration was held at the Wakeman Elevator. Wakeman volunteers, village officials, and Buckeye Trail Association members worked together to collaborate to make Wakeman a Buckeye Trail Town, located in the Norwalk Section of the Buckeye Trail.

Founded in 1824, Wakeman is an old railroad town about half way from Cleveland to Toledo and located just a few miles south of Lake Erie on the Vermilion River. Back when the rail was still running, it would stop at Wakeman to fire up the coal engine and refill the coal car, while taking passengers on its way to and from the two major cities. A visit to Wakeman Village wouldn’t be complete unless you walked the downtown area. The downtown hosts many businesses: an upscale florist and gift shop, smoothie shop, homemade ice cream, pizza parlor, coffee shop, beauty salon, a pub, bank, and two automotive shops.

Visit Wakeman's own Trail Town web page for more information.

St. Marys – Trail Town Dedication October 17th, 2021

Before the white men ever came to the area, Indians found the St. Marys River to be an important travel route. By portages of only six miles at high water and 26 at low water they could travel all the way from Lake Erie to the Gulf of Mexico. Before the construction of Grand Lake St. Marys, which drained about half of the river's watershed area, the river could handle the largest flat-bottom boats.

Shawnee – Trail Town Dedication October 14th, 2018

Nestled in the foothills of Appalachia in Southern Perry County is the historic coal mining village, now Trail Town, known as Shawnee. Settlers first arrived in the area around 1814, however the town government wasn’t established until 1874. This friendly little town is home to scenic views along Main Street, featuring overhanging second-story porches and unique architecture, which lends to the imagination what the quiet streets would have looked like at the turn of the century with over 4,000 residents! Today, Shawnee is home to approximately 650 people, who are descendants of the Welsh, German, Scottish, Irish, and Italian immigrants who came here in the early 1900s to work in the mines, and create homes and lives for their families.

In 1952, after all mining and brick factories were shut down, local townspeople convened and decided to construct a new recreational area on the outskirts of town, with the hopes of drawing people back to the once booming city, this man-made structure is known as Tecumseh Lake. Today, the lake is still a popular destination for hikers, fishermen, and kayakers and shows that resourcefulness is not a quality that has been lost through the generations! Shawnee is home to many flourishing organizations including Destination Shawnee, Ohio Hill Country Heritage Area, Little Cities of Black Diamonds Council, and hosts the state headquarters for the Buckeye Trail Association.

Located in the heart of Wayne National Forest, Shawnee is surrounded by miles and miles of public land. Ohio’s only national forest boasts over 100,000 acres that are used for hiking trails, fishing sites, camping areas, horseback riding trails, birding areas, and ATV riding areas. As if that wasn’t enough, Shawnee is also only a quick trip away from Burr Oak State Park and Hocking Hills State Park which claims over 2,500 acres of gorgeous waterfalls, trails, caves, and more. This close proximity makes Shawnee ideal for a trip to nature, with something for everyone!

Shawnee is proud to have become a Trail Town and hopes to work closely with the Buckeye Trail Association in order to promote outdoor experiences. Thank you, we hope to see you soon!
