National Trail Day on the Buckeye Trail

Description: The Buckeye Trail's Biggest Day Hike is happening on National Trails Day which is Saturday, June 5, 2021. On that day, it's hoped that the entire Buckeye Trail will be hiked and the experience shared on social media. Even though there wasn't much time to plan for this event last year, 35% of the Buckeye Trail was hiked.

Goal: To hike as much of the Buckeye Trail in one day as possible!

We are encouraging everyone to hike a little bit of the
trail to see how much we can hike together in one day.
Just think, it will only take 300 people hiking 4.8 miles
each to hike and complete the entire trail! Hike anywhere on the Buckeye Trail.

You are welcome to bike the portions where bikes are
allowed, horseback where horses are allowed, and even
kayak where rivers are parallel to the trail.

Not only are we building a better trail, we are also
building a better community. When the COVID
pandemic ends, we'll still need volunteers, hike leaders,
event organizers, and promoters. We welcome each
and everyone of you.

Buckeye Trail’s Biggest Day Hike is a completely
free event. So get out there and have some fun!
