Pine Grove Trail

A mostly level woodland loop through the Virginia Kendall area, suited to an unhurried forest walk.

Route overview

Pine Grove Trail in Ohio.

Pine Grove Trail offers a quieter, less technical alternative to nearby Ledges Trail. The official route is mostly flat and dirt-surfaced, passing through mature woodland without the same concentration of rock steps or exposed edges. Seasonal mud, roots, leaves, and ticks still make normal hiking preparation necessary.
