Plateau Trail
A longer Oak Hill-area circuit with mostly level dirt tread and one substantial climb.
Route overview
Plateau Trail in Ohio.
Plateau Trail extends the Oak Hill experience into a longer 4.6-mile woodland circuit. Much of the route is described as flat, but one major hill and the total distance create a moderate half-day hike. The record remains separate from Oak Hill Trail and must not imply that both loops are automatically combined.
