A woman hiking.

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.
