Leith Run Recreation Area

The Leith Run Campground provides a beautiful location on the Ohio River, where grassy campsites and picnic areas make for a comfortable getaway in the Wayne National Forest. The campground is equipped with modern conveniences like flush toilets and electricity. This fully accessible facility offers a variety of recreation activities. There are now several no-mow zones and plantings of native shrubs to increase bird habitat and make the landscape more sustainable. Additional Resources Leith Run Recreation Area Brochure
