Welcome to the Ohio to Erie Trail!



Welcome to the Ohio to Erie Trail, a unique statewide trail that connects the Ohio River to Lake Erie through more than 326 miles of scenic pathways, small towns, vibrant cities, and natural landscapes. The Ohio to Erie Trail was created to provide a safe, accessible route for walking, running, cycling, and exploration while connecting communities across Ohio. Our mission is to build, maintain, and promote this world-class trail corridor, encouraging outdoor recreation, healthy lifestyles, sustainable transportation, and a deeper appreciation for Ohio's people, history, and natural beauty. Whether you're planning a cross-state adventure or a short ride close to home, we invite you to discover all that the Ohio to Erie Trail has to offer. We look forward to seeing you out on the trail!

OTET Photo Contest - 2026


Every day, riders and walkers set out on the Ohio to Erie Trail—exploring new stretches, revisiting favorite spots, and experiencing how the trail changes with the seasons. From quiet morning rides to vibrant trail towns, there’s always something new to discover.

We’re looking for fresh photos to showcase the beauty of the trail—and we want to see it through your eyes!

Submit your best shots in one of the following categories:
  • Trail Town Spotlight – Show us what makes your trail town special
  • Best of the OTET – Capture your favorite part of the trail 
The contest runs through October 31, 2026, and our Board of Directors will select one winner in each category in November. Winners will receive an Ohio to Erie Trail merch prize package, and select submissions may be featured on our website and social media.
