Circuit Hike Buckeye Trail

Saturday April 11, 2026

We will return to Road Fork and Whipple sections of the trail for the warm season.

We will meet at 39.714932, -81.393562 along Rado Ridge road at a triangle of roads by 8:30 am. We will be parking in narrow areas along the roadway.

Please stay on road right-of-ways and respect private property. There are no trespassing signs throughout the area. I've used this location multiple times in the past.

We will carpool back to 39.775947, -81.503293 and will park in the grass along State Route 285 at Caldwell Lake road.

Hike distance is 10.4 miles.
Map points are 3 to about 8.5.
I would suggest having a "We are hiking the Buckeye Trail" style of sign to place in car windows.
Dog spray may be a bonus and is recommended.
