Head out on the trail from the CA&C Visitor Center. Whether you walk, bike or roll, the trails are a must-do while in Knox. Heading west, enjoy the Heart of Ohio Trail as it leads you through Ariel-Foundation Park and picturesque views as your make your way to Centerburg.

After a day out on the trail, cool off and check-in to a place that makes you feel right at home, The Mount Vernon Inn. Known for its gorgeous garden and stellar breakfast, The Mount Vernon Inn is a great place to rest your head for the night.
