Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail envisioned as part of a regional mega-trail

The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, while still not complete itself, is being seen as one of the key links in a four-state mega-trail network, linking existing and planned trails in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

The initiative is a project of a group known as the Power of 32+, named for the 32 counties originally encompassed in the target region.
