Hoover Trail

Fall leaves and colors with trail in middleA refreshing trip and some fresh air await you on this 5.40 mile trail in the middle of North Canton connecting shopping and dining at Washington Square, Walsh University’s Hoover Park, North Canton’s baseball fields, Hoover High School, Sanctuary Grande with access to Applegrove St., and the Hoover District within a close distance to the YMCA. Hike, bike, walk, run, or jog on the mostly limestone trail, reinforced with asphalt in a few spots.

Surrounding natural areas provide ideal habitat for hawks, deer, foxes, groundhogs, and rabbits. Gold finches, cardinals, and chickadees are also common.

The Hoover Trail connects to the Middle Branch Trail with a tunnel under Market Avenue and an on-road route using Stone Crossing St. before taking the sidewalk and crossing Easton St. at GlenOak High School.

The Hoover Trail, between Hoover High School and Marquardt Ave., and behind the stadium has been adopted by the William H. Hoover Masonic Lodge. The group sponsors cleanup projects along the trail throughout the year.

Parking is available at Washington Square and the Hoover Community Recreational Complex (East Maple St. ball fields).
