Collegial Woods Trails
Collegial Woods Trails is a passive recreation park located on the northern portion of the Ohio University- Zanesville and Zane State College campus. The Park is 63 acres, most of which is a wooded ravine crisscrossed by nearly two miles of walking trails, some of which are quite challenging and offer views of Joe’s Run and several small wetlands. A 10-foot-wide accessible gravel trail along the edge of the woods connects to the campus sidewalks to make a nearly two-mile walking loop. Collegial Woods was developed with the assistance of two NatureWorks grants through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The Collegial Woods Trail network connects to the Joe’s Run Recreational Trail.
