Mission & Vision

Mission of the Buckeye Trail Association

The Buckeye Trail Association builds, maintains, preserves, and promotes the use of the 1,400+ mile Buckeye Trail, Ohio's longest hiking trail, for our citizens, communities, and partners. Since 1959, we have provided outdoor recreation, volunteer opportunities, education, economic benefits, and access to the natural and cultural resources of Ohio.

Vision of the Buckeye Trail Association

The Buckeye Trail Association is an organization that is reflective of the diversity of the trail. Working in close partnership with communities, organizations and agencies around the state of Ohio, the volunteers and staff of the Buckeye Trail Association administer overall coordination, management and support for a sustainable world class hiking trail that provides a safe and unique experience connecting Ohio’s diverse resources, people, places and history; creating a legacy for present and future generations to marvel and enjoy.
