This trail begins in Mount Vernon and reveals majestic views of the Kokosing River Valley as it snakes its way to Danville along 14 miles of old railroad lines. It's not uncommon to see deer, hear the gobbles of wild turkeys or see a blue heron skimming the top of the river looking for food. In spring and summer, the wild flowers provide a beautiful border for the softly rolling hills and cultivated fields. As the seasons change, so does the scenery along the path. Summer greens give way to the bright oranges, reds and browns of autumn and then again to the dull-beauty of winter. Centerburg offers housing to suit all tastes and needs.
