Ohio Hunting Season at West Branch

It’s that time of year again to be alert to the annual hunting season at West Branch, where hunting is legal at certain times in our section of the park….and sometimes our trails will be CLOSED by the park, to ensure safety for everyone (signs will be posted by the park at the trailhead and Cable Line entrances).

Some upcoming dates to be aware of:

November 23rd & 24th is Youth Gun season for deer – MTB trail is CLOSED

Monday, Dec 2nd through the 8th is regular [shot]gun season for deer – MTB trail is CLOSED

Regardless of timing during the hunting season, make sure to always wear bright blaze orange or lime colors this fall and winter….since archery season started in September doesn’t end until February 2nd!
