When: 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm Where: Wildwood Cultural Center & Park, 7645 Little Mountain Rd, Mentor, OH 44060, USA
Join us at Wildwood Cultural Center for a presentation about the Buckeye Trail with a focus on the trail in Buckeye Trail Town Mentor. Learn more about the history and future of the Buckeye Trail and Buckeye Trail Association during this 45-minute presentation highlighting recent updates to the Trail in Buckeye Trail Town Mentor. Time for questions and comments will be available after the presentation. Did you know the northeast terminus of the trail is located at Headlands Beach State Park. The “Bedford Section” of the trail makes its way through the Mentor Marsh and Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve before heading south through Civic Center Park, the Old Village District, and the Wildwood Cultural Center. “The Buckeye Trail Association is excited about these enhancements, which strengthen Mentor’s role as a Buckeye Trail Town—a designation it has proudly held since 2018,” says Buckeye Trail Association President Maureen Gatewood, “This reroute brings benefits such as increased tourism, local business engagement, and community pride, making Mentor a great destination along Ohio’s iconic trail.” “This reroute gives visitors a chance to experience more of what makes Mentor special, and we’re excited to partner with the Buckeye Trail Association to make it happen,” says Mentor Communications Office Ante Logarusic. The change has been officially made, and new trail markers have been put in place by volunteers. A formal dedication will be held in 2026 along with a presentation by the Buckeye Trail Association—the private, non-profit volunteer organization which maintains and manages the trail.
