The Conotton Creek Trail is a rail trail in Ohio, running from Bowerston to Jewett in northern Harrison County.
The paved multi-use trail is suitable for biking, unicycling, roller-blading, wheel chairing, jogging and walking. It features six bridges, two of which (in Scio and Jewett) are covered. The trail has 40 birdhouses to attract tree swallows and bluebirds. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy chose it as its Trail of the Month for March 2002.
The trail is owned by Harrison County, and is managed by a committee of trail advocates
Famous quotes containing the words creek and/or trail:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey leaving a trail of ambiguous
picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
