Hike Highlights:
“Gretchen's Lock: Our journey begins at the infamous Gretchen's Lock, a historical canal lock shrouded in chilling tales of paranormal activity. Listen to the legends of Gretchen, the forlorn spirit who is said to roam these grounds, seeking closure from a tragic love story.

The Lady in White: As we continue our hike, you'll hear the haunting story of the Lady in White, a spectral figure who has been spotted near the banks of Beaver Creek. Learn about the mysteries surrounding her presence and the ethereal aura she brings to the area.

Hambleton's Mill: Discover the eerie history of Hambleton's Mill, where shadows are said to dance in the moonlight and the echoes of the past linger in the creaking timbers. Dive into the ghostly tales that have enshrouded this historic site for generations.

Pretty Boy Floyd: Step back in time to the era of gangsters and bootleggers as we explore the connection of Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd to the region. Uncover stories of his escapades and the infamous crimes that have left their mark on this area.

Eerie Woods: As we venture deeper into the woods, you'll experience the forest like never before. The quiet whispers of the trees and the rustling leaves may have you second-guessing every sound.
Historic Sites: Explore the remnants of the Ohio and Erie Canal and other historic landmarks that once played a vital role in the region's history. Discover the stories of those who lived and worked along these waterways and the ghosts who, some say, still do.”
