The Wayne National Forest is a patchwork of public land that covers over a quarter million acres of Appalachian foothills of southeastern Ohio. The Forest is divided into three units managed out of two Ranger District offices located in Nelsonville and Ironton, with a field office in Marietta.
The Forest features over 300 miles of trails for hiking, all-terrain vehicle riding, mountain biking, or horseback riding in season. The trails are open to ATVs, mountain bikes, and horseback riders from mid-April to mid-December each year. Come visit the Wayne and hike or ride our trails!
The Wayne National Forest is pleased to announce that it has begun revising its Forest Plan in April of 2018. Learn more about what this means, where we are in the process, and how you can get involved!
The Wayne National Forest is completing Administrative Change 10 to the 2006 Land and Resource Management Plan (aka Forest Plan) to increase the acres of utility corridor development.
A diverse and growing group of local residents and community leaders envision a nationally recognized mountain bike project as a means of elevating the region.
