Mound Trail is a short, easy hike in Ohio, about 1.5 miles from the town of Senior. The route is 0.87 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 22 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in a single outing. The trail rises from about 892 feet to about 929 feet, and the steepest part comes early, at about 0.11 miles in, with a grade of about 5%. That makes it a low-effort outing, suitable for a quick stop or as a link between other nearby trails. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 79°F, with July the warmest month at about 86°F. Earthworks Trail is about 0.6 miles away and Eagles Trail about 0.9 miles. Farther out, Caesar Creek Lake and the Caesar Creek Gorge Loop Trail are both about 5.4 miles away.
