Wally Road
Would you like to drive along what used to be a railroad track bed, in a pristine valley bordered by steep wooded hillsides? If so, the Wally Road Scenic Byway is calling out to you!
The scenic beauty of the forested hilltops, deep ravines, wetlands, and rich soil bottom lands of the Mohican and Walhonding valleys was restricted to a few river travelers and remote villages before the Toledo, Walhonding Valley and Ohio Railroad (the "Wally") opened a 45 mile connecting route from Coshocton to Loudonville in 1892. This route was considered one of the most scenic train rides in Ohio.
The T, WV & O Railroad ceased operations in 1942, but the pristine beauty of its right-of-way lives on. Today one can still choose to visit the byway during any or all of the four competing seasons that garment the Mohican Valley: during the somberness of winter, the awakening of spring, the calm tranquility of summer, or the artistry of fall.
