The Ohio River Trail Council is a volunteer-led multifaceted public benefit corporation whose mission is to establish, promote, protect and preserve a multi-use trail, the Ohio River Trail (ORT), along the Ohio River and its tributaries. The ORTC is composed of a dedicated and visionary leadership, which embraces a team strategy to implement our community-based initiatives with the intention to guarantee a bright future for our rivers, forests, and towns. The ORTC works to bring individuals, groups, businesses, and all levels of government together to honor our past and build a "path" to our future by providing active transportation networks, brownfield remediation, economic development, environmental stewardship, heritage preservation, land conservation, and recreation opportunities.
