The Wayne 

National Forest

The Wayne National Forest 

is located in the hills of southeastern 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 Districts near Athens and Ironton. A 

field office is also located east of 

Marietta. 

The Wayne is within a few 

hours drive of metropolitan areas 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 fishing licenses are required. The 

Forest boundaries surround a 

checkerboard pattern of ownership, with public and private 

ownership interspersed. Care 

must be taken to stay on national 

forest lands and respect private 

property. Detailed maps of ownership are sold through Forest 

offices. 

There are over 300 miles of 

trails on the Forest for hiking, 

off-highway vehicle (OHV) riding, mountain biking, or horseback 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 National Forest trails are closed 

to all uses except hiking from 

December 16 through April 14 

each year. 

Please be careful with campfires, and pack out anything you 

pack in. 

Campgrounds, wildlife, and 

trails make the Wayne National 

Forest a popular destination 

point for outdoor recreationists. 

For current information on accessibility of sites, trails, making reservations, or rules and 

regulations, check our website 

or contact one of the Forest’s 

offices.
