The Wayne National Forest The Wayne National Forest is located in the hills of south-eastern Ohio. In the heart of the heavily populated Midwest, this small national forest covers almost a quarter million acres of Appalachian foothills. The Wayne is divided into three units administered by two Ranger Dis-tricts near Athens and Ironton. A field office is also located east of Marietta. The Wayne is within a few hours drive of metropolitan ar-eas such as Columbus, Akron, Cleveland, Dayton, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburgh. Yet it retains an air of nostalgia, with covered bridges, rockshelters, springs and rugged forested hills. Visitors to national forest lands are welcome to camp, hike, hunt and fish. State hunting and fish-ing licenses are required. The Forest boundaries surround a checkerboard pattern of own-ership, with public and private ownership interspersed. Care must be taken to stay on national forest lands and respect private property. Detailed maps of own-ership are sold through Forest offices. There are over 300 miles of trails on the Forest for hiking, off-highway vehicle (OHV) rid-ing, mountain biking, or horse-back riding. Trail systems may be open to more than one type of use so please yield to other

uses. Trail maps are available. Please note that Wayne Na-tional Forest trails are closed to all uses except hiking from December 16 through April 14 each year.
