Boston Run Trail
A rolling woodland loop near Happy Days Lodge with rocky sections and a sustained two-hour hiking profile.
Route overview
Boston Run Trail in Ohio.
Boston Run Trail is a medium-length circuit through the wooded Virginia Kendall landscape. Despite limited total elevation change, repeated hills and rocky surfaces create a more active experience than the raw figures suggest. It is also used for skiing in suitable winter conditions, but the hiking record does not imply groomed or safe winter travel.
