Knox County was impacted by the severe storm the evening of June 13. Clearing will take time and trail users are advised to stay vigilant and find a nearby road if you encounter a blocked area. Crews have been working this week to clear the trails of an unprecedented number of downed trees and debris. Knox County Park district staff, Heart of Ohio Trail, and Kokosing Gap Trail friends’ groups have been working hard in this oppressive heat to open the trails. The Heart of Ohio Trail, Kokosing Gap Trail, and Mohican Valley Trail were impacted.
A huge thank you goes out to these folks who maintain and improve the county’s trails, part of the Ohio to Erie Trail and the Great American Rail-Trail.
Please visit the following on Facebook for the current status and plan your visit accordingly.
