Zaleski State Forest - Ohio Hiking, Backpacking and Trail Running - North and South Loops

Join me on a quick overnight backpacking trip with Michael Stutzman, as we crush 27 miles on the North and South Loop at Zaleski State Forest. This hiking and backpacking trail is one of Ohio's most popular, and on a Saturday night, campsite 3 was so full we were forced to set up a stealth camp as the sun was going down. On day two we ran into SEOTR (Southeast Ohio Trail Runners) coordinator and FKT holder Michael Owen. We also take a little tour of all three campsites along the way.
