Bridge of Dreams

Bridge of Dreams is a covered railway crossing over the Mohican River with a wooden structure built on original steel beams from the 1920s. The passage stretches about 370 feet (113 meters) and now carries pedestrians and cyclists where trains once ran.

The Pennsylvania Railway built this bridge in the 1920s as part of a line connecting Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus. In 1998, local residents converted the abandoned railway into a public pedestrian path.

The name came from locals who refused to give up on their vision to turn the old railway bridge into a pedestrian passage. Walking across it today, you can sense the community pride behind this conversion.

The crossing is located on Hunter Road and connects to the 4.5-mile Mohican Valley Trail for exploring the surrounding area. Parking is available underneath the structure at the trailhead, making access straightforward for day visitors.

The crossing welcomes Amish horse-drawn buggies alongside regular foot traffic, creating an interesting mix of modern and traditional travel. It ranks as the second-longest covered bridge in Ohio.
