Brief Overview: Buckeye, North Country and American Discovery Concurrency in Ohio

Everything here is written from the clockwise/ westbound direction of travel.

The Buckeye Trail is a 1,440 mile circle within the four corners of Ohio.  From Pennsylvania, the North Country Trail is independent of the Buckeye for 84 miles until it reaches the 3-way intersection in the historic Village of Zoar in Tuscarawas County.  

American Discovery Trail comes out of Parkersburg, West Virginia and enters Belpre of Washington County.  It's independent for about 32 miles until just east of Chesterhill in Marion Township of Morgan County.

Then the Buckeye, North Country and American Discovery Trails run concurrent for about 7 1/2 of Buckeye's southern sections until the City of Milford in Clermont County (near Cincinnati). Buckeye wasn't always a circle, so Eden Park is the site of Buckeye's present day honorary Southern Terminus.  At Milford, ADT towards California turns south while the NCT towards North Dakota splits north and continues along Buckeye's main circle.

About 5 of Buckeye's sections further north is where the Buckeye and North Country split on the Miami & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in Liberty Township of Henry County towards Battle Creek, Mi and again, North Dakota.
