North Ghost Hedge Trail is a short, easy hike in Sycamore State Park in Ohio, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 1.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 44 feet, so it's a gentle walk rather than a climb. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Dayton show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 79°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Several other trails sit close by. South Heron Run Trail is about 0.3 miles away, North Heron Run Trail about 0.6 miles, and South Ghost Hedge Trail about a mile.
