The Moonville Rail Trail Association is a non-profit, all volunteer organization, which was established in April, 2001 in order to build and maintain the muscle-powered Moonville Rail Trail. The Moonville Rail Trail extends from a bit west of the Village of Zaleski, through the hills of Vinton County, and ends in scenic Athens County near Mineral. We hope to someday connect the Moonville Trail to the Athens County Hockhocking Adena Bike Path. The Moonville Rail Trail Association works to preserve local history as well as the beautiful environment. We work to maintain the trail, assist the surrounding communities in promoting education, tourism, and economic development and create an awareness of the needs of different muscle-powered user groups.

🚂 **IMAGINE MOONVILLE 100+ YEARS AGO.**

Instead of hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders, these tracks once carried trains through the hills of southeastern Ohio.

Today, the trail gives us a chance to walk through pieces of that history.
