The BTA builds, maintains, preserves, and promotes the use of the 1,400+ mile Buckeye Trail, Ohio's longest hiking trail, for our citizens, communities and partners since 1959. Follow the Blue Blazes at one of our many events across Ohio!

The Central Ohio Chapter, in conjunction with Biggest Day Hike, National Trails Day, and Scioto Saturdays, is hosting a Biggest Day Hike Potluck Picnic Celebration. This special event brings hikers together for a day of exploration, connection, and celebration on the trails. Participants can enjoy one of two group hikes on the Buckeye Trail ending at Pike Lake State Park. This is followed by a potluck picnic where everyone is encouraged to share their favorite dishes. Please bring items in a cooler, if needed. We will try to have extra coolers as well. There is NO Electricity at the shelter. However, there is a grill for hotdogs and hamburgers and to heat something up if needed.Location: We have the West Picnic Shelter on Egypt Hollow Road reserved. Follow the signs as you enter Pike Lake State Park.The celebration portion of this event also marks the finale of the Scioto Saturdays hike series, offering a meaningful moment to reflect on the season’s adventures and the community built along the way.In addition, if you hiked any other part of the Scioto Trail section, or the nearby Sinking Spring section as part of the Biggest Day Hike Event by the Buckeye Trail Association, this event offers a welcoming space to enjoy nature, good food, and great company as we all celebrate Biggest Day Hike together on National Trails Day.
