Part of the 967 mile Ohio River Scenic Byway transects the Wayne National Forest and the Covered Bridge Byway winds its way through the Marietta Unit of the Forest. Both offer outstanding opportunities to view scenery and together offer a circular loop trail.
The picture of the river and the one here of the Rinard Covered Bridge are two of the scenic attractions you would see on the two byways.
