This byway follows the Ohio River and traverses two of the units (Ironton and Marietta) of the Wayne National Forest. Some of the Forest provides a backdrop to the byway's scenery, in other cases, loop trails off the byway offer visitors alternative routes to explore. A Forest campground along the byway, trails, and other amenities offer byway travelers an opportunity to explore the Wayne.

Getting there

Follows the Ohio river from the Pennsylvania/Ohio state line across the state. Transects the Wayne National Forest on the Marietta Unit and the Ironton District.
