Covered Bridge Trail - Marietta Ohio Mountain Bike Trails

The Marietta Unit of the Wayne National Forest is one of the most isolated and wild areas of Ohio, a fact that may explain why it remains relatively undiscovered by mountain bikers. But singletrack junkies who brave the lengthy drive to this area will be treated to some of the longest stretches of singletrack in the state. The Covered Bridge Trail - with its challenging climbs, gentle singletrack, technical rocky sections, and big descents - is a blast to ride. Trail Surface: Singletrack and gravel roads
