Dysart Woods is a 400+ acre property containing 50 acres of old growth forest, accessible via a public hiking trail.
Located in central Belmont County, the property contains a 1.7 mile hiking trail of intermediate hiking over sometimes uneven terrain. The property recently changed hands from decades of ownership by Ohio University to Captina Conservancy. The Conservancy plans to repair and restore hiking trails, preserve and protect the old growth forest, and enhance the ecology of the entire property. Interested in volunteering at Dysart?
