About This Trail
A 6.2-mile connector linking the Moonville Tunnel rail corridor to the Zaleski State Forest backcountry ridge system in Vinton County. The route climbs from the flat former railroad grade near the haunted 19th-century tunnel into rolling ridgetop terrain, bridging two of southeastern Ohio’s most distinctive trail experiences.
