What we’re about

The Wilderness Chapter of the Buckeye Trail Association is the chapter for those who live near or along the Road Fork and Whipple Sections of the Buckeye Trail in Southeastern Ohio. These sections, along with segments of the Stockport and Belle Valley sections, comprise 'The Wilderness Loop' of the BT. The Chapter's extent includes Washington, Monroe, and portions of Morgan* and Noble** Counties of Ohio, then Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler, Pleasants, Wood and Wirt Counties of West Virginia. We support the Buckeye Trail through hiking, backpacking, and volunteer events.

The Buckeye Trail Association is the leader in building, maintaining, protecting and promoting use of Ohio's longest scenic hiking trail for our citizens, communities and partners. We provide outdoor recreation, opportunities to volunteer, education, access to the varied resources of Ohio and local economic benefits.

The Buckeye Trail, Ohio's State Scenic Trail, is a sustainable hiking trail that provides a safe and unique experience throughout the state reflecting the diverse resources, people and stories of Ohio. The trail is a dedicated, recognized and protected route developed and maintained by the Buckeye Trail Association, an organization reflective of the diversity of the trail. The Buckeye Trail Association works in close partnership with communities, organizations and agencies around Ohio creating a legacy for present and future generations.
