Wayne National Forest Dispersed — Dorr Run OHV Trailhead Area

Description

Within the Athens Unit of Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio, this OHV trailhead parking area doubles as an overnight stop for campers exploring the surrounding trail network. It's the largest and highest of several trailheads clustered along this road corridor, with fire rings on site and a pit toilet just down the road — and notably, reliable cell service where nearby spots have none. Daytime OHV activity keeps things lively; evenings settle into quiet Appalachian hill-country calm, with a small hamlet a couple of miles away for resupply. Open April through November.
