The Monroe Outlook provides access to the Monroe Overlook Trail and the Wildcat Hollow Trail in Perry County.

This scenic vista provides a 360-degree view of the countryside. It also provides some excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

The Wayne National Forest is located in the hills of southeastern Ohio. This small national forest, in the heart of the heavily populated Midwest, covers almost a quarter million acres of Appalachian foothills. The Wayne is divided into three blocks administered by two Ranger Districts at Athens and Ironton. A field office is also located east of Marietta.

Visitors to national forest lands are welcome to camp, hike, hunt, and fish. The Forest boundaries surround a checkerboard pattern of ownership, with public and private ownership interspersed. There are over 300 miles of trails in the Forest for hiking, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riding, mountain biking, or horseback riding.

Monroe Overlook Trail Loop
Monroe Overlook Trail is a 5-mile loop of beautiful streams, open meadows, and panoramic views. Tall pine forests offer a natural retreat from the city and the meadows are full of fabulous wildflowers in the spring. Depending on the season, you may be able to catch a glimpse of white-tailed deer or wild turkeys along the way.
