The Richland B&O Trail spans 18 miles and connects four of Richland County’s communities and one of the area’s most beautiful attractions on its trek between North Lake Park in downtown Mansfield and Butler.
Popular with residents and visitors alike, the paved trail runs along a former railway and is perfect for both short trips and longer outings. You’ll pass families and people of all ages riding their bikes, alongside others on a quiet walk, a healthy run or zipping by on roller blades.
Travel as many miles as you wish at your own pace and whatever direction you choose as you explore all this beautiful trail has to offer.
