Confirmed from Franklin-Clinton Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Franklin-Clinton Area
“With lots of rain recently this lush green Trailhead along the Tuscarawas River was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect day weather wise and it made it even better.”
Awesome got to meet my homies Franklin and Lamar and they were walking Chop, IDK why they're in Ohio
Great place for a walk (especially if playing pokemon go). There isn't much going on in the town shop wise but it's a cool little stop for a stroll in the park to see the locks
Nice place to go. Towpath trails well maintained. Nice place to visit to get away from the city. Some farms mostly country living with small town feel. Very close to Canal Fulton nice small town with a lot of Ohio Erie Canal History. Quaint restaurants bars ice cream shops and Canal Mud fudge.
