About Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail

The Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail is a 58.1-mile scenic drive in northwest Ohio. It carries two designations: it is a National Scenic Byway and also an Ohio State Scenic Byway. The route passes through Toledo, Ottawa Hills, Maumee, Waterville and Whitehouse, so there are towns for stops along the way. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to drive it. A nearby weather station in Toledo records typical average highs of about 71°F in May and 76°F in September, and summer highs climb into the low to mid 80s. Several places to stretch your legs sit just off the byway. Brown Trail and the Buckeye Trail (Pemberville) are both within a quarter mile of the route, and Toledo Area (Whitehouse) Bouldering is about 0.3 miles away.
