Arboretum Walking Trails
Experience the beauty of Oglebay on foot as you stroll along 4.5 miles of paved walking trails which weave throughout the park. Benches along the trails provide a perfect resting place where you can relax and take in the sights.
Unpaved Hiking Trails
Many of the original trails traveled by Earl W. Oglebay in the early 1900s have been restored and groomed into hiking trails. Today, guests can explore these historic trails and take in majestic views of Oglebay’s landscape. Oglebay’s trail system is comprised of the Hardwood Ridge, Falls Vista, Brooks, Bridle, Serpentine, Thoreau, Habitat Discovery, Roosevelt, and Driehorst Trails.
