Conotton Creek Trail, Rail trail in Harrison County, Ohio, US
The Conotton Creek Trail extends for 11.4 miles through wetlands, farms, woods, and rock formations, connecting the towns of Bowerston, Connotton, Scio, and Jewett.
This former Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway corridor transported iron ore from Great Lakes ports to steel mills and carried coal from Harrison County mines.
The trail forms part of the Industrial Heartlands Trails network and the Great American Rail-Trail, connecting communities across multiple states for recreational purposes.
The trail features five covered bridges, four shelters, fifty benches, portable toilets, interpretative signs at six staging areas, and parking facilities at both endpoints.
More than forty birdhouses line the trail, while ponds east of Bowerston provide habitats for herons, eagles, geese, ducks, and numerous other wildlife species.
