The great wide open

American Electric Power has put together an awesome recreational area from the ReCreated wilderness near McConnellsville, Oh!

The Equine Trailhead camping area is adjacent to the Trailhead. There are picnic tables, fire rings, a pavilion and room for horse trailers as well as several tents. Porta pots are the only available facilities but that's the whole reason you go to the wilderness is to pee in the weeds right? Pre print your permit, your stay is free. No signal that I could find. Gravel roads in are well graded and new. Go online to get maps and additional info.

Knowledge is power:

AEP American Electric Power 

McConnelsville, Oh

Offers The Wilds; 10,000 donated reclaimed land where wildlife species reside. Tree farms, hydro plants and deer hunting. Then there's the free camping with permit, horse trails, bike trails and dog training areas. 

AEP not only ReCreated Land that was stripped mined, they made it an out door enthusiasts playground while conserving and putting things back better then they were. Check out their site online for more information and permit printing.
