Description

The Mohican Valley Trail runs for nearly 5 miles along an abandoned right-of-way of the old Penn Central Railroad on the eastern edge of Knox County, between Brinkhaven and Danville. The trail features the stunning Bridge Of Dreams in Brinkhaven, a 370-foot covered bridge over the Mohican River. The span is the longest covered bridge in Ohio and the second in the country.

In Danville, you can carry on west along the Kokosing Gap Trail (no horses).

Parking and Trail Access

For horse trailers, park near the Bridge of Dreams (16606 Hunter Road) near where Township Hwy 218 and Main Street intersect (east of the river); at Tiger Valley Arch (15700 Tiger Valley Road) or at 402 East Street in Danville. Two additional areas are available off Buckeye Rd. near Millersburg Rd.
