Wayne NF headquarters and Athens Ranger District officeWelcome to the Wayne National Forest. The Wayne is located in the hills of southeastern Ohio.  The Forest is a patchwork ownership that covers over a quarter million acres of Appalachian foothills. The Forest is divided into three blocks administered out of two Ranger District offices at Nelsonville and Ironton with a field office in Marietta.

We have over 300 miles of trails for hiking, all-terrain vehicle riding, mountain biking, or horseback riding in season.  The trails opened on April 15th. Come and enjoy the great outdoors on your Wayne National Forest.
