Make the Drive: 3 Hiking Trails Near Chillicothe, OH

Chillicothe, OH is home to several beautiful parks, including city, county, and state parks. There are many miles of biking trails, but that's not what we love most about what this great city offers. We love how easy it is to access hiking trails designed for all sorts of fitness levels. Today, we're looking at some of our favorite trails in the area. 1. Shawnee Ridge Loop One of the best shared-use loop trails within driving distance of Chillicothe is Shawnee Ridge Loop at Great Seal State Park, conveniently located at 4908 Marietta Rd. This extensive loop trail is excellent for training for a big race or challenging upcoming hike due to its frequent elevation changes. This is a great trail to tackle in the summer due to the shade on the trail. We recommend taking this loop clockwise, so you overcome the toughest obstacles full of energy. If you go counterclockwise around the loop, you will be faced with a massive hill that may be daunting at the end of a long, hilly hike. more 2. Hoggard Trail Another one of our favorite trails is the Hoggard Trail at Buzzard's Roost Nature Preserve. Buzzard's Roost preserves over 1,100 acres of land and features incredibly rugged landscapes. Parking near the Hoggard Trail trailhead is located at 514 Red Bird Ln. If you hike this entire trail, you will be rewarded with several stunning views. You will pass over a footbridge, and you can see blooming daffodils and other plants. You will also find several benches along the trail that you can rest on. 3. Ross Hollow Hiking Trail The Ross Hollow Hiking Trail at Tar Hollow State Park is great. You can access this state park by plugging 16396 Tar Hollow Rd into your favorite map app on your smartphone. It can connect via Bluetooth to the Infotainment 3 system in your 2024 Chevy Trax, so you can see and hear directions without worrying about your phone. The trailhead for the Ross Hollow Hiking Trail loop can be found in the Ross Hollow camp area, and it grants access to the gorgeous Tar Hollow hills. This trail is beautiful year-round. However, we recommend not checking this trail out if it has rained recently. The trail can become muddy, making it harder to ascend the steep inclines through the hills. With a new Chevy, there are lots of wonderful hiking and multi-use trails that you can enjoy in the Chillicothe area. Just remember that to ensure your manufacturer's warranty is not voided, strict adherence to your maintenance schedule is required.

Here are three of the best places to cast your line in Chillicothe.

You can find Yoctangee Park downtown, running adjacent to the Historic First Capital District. more Ross Lake Just a couple of miles to the east of town, you'll find the stunning and serene waters of Ross Lake in the Ross Lake Wilderness Area, a beautiful 1,107-acre state wildlife area. Ross Lake is a great place for catching bass and bluegills. You can find a secluded spot to fish by the shore or push out into the center of the lake on a boat. One reason local fans of fishing love this lake is the lovely natural scenery. It's a picturesque natural environment with a calm and soothing ambiance and plenty of wildlife. If you're lucky, you may even see a bald eagle diving for fish. The lake is located at Chillicothe, OH 45601. You can get there by following Blacksmith Hill Road to the east of town before turning off onto West Hydell Road. Kinnikinnick Wildlife Area One of the best places to fish in the Scioto River is the Kinnikinnick Wildlife Area a short drive to the north. This charming forested area is teeming with wildlife, both in and out of the water. You can while away many happy hours here catching catfish, crappies, bluegills, and smallmouth bass, which often reach considerable size. While there, you might also catch sight of grey squirrels, whitetail deer, cottontail rabbits, ducks, geese, mallards, and eagles. The wildlife area is situated on Orr Road, U.S. Route 23. The six-mile drive there takes you through some very attractive scenery.
