¿Dónde es Hiking & Exploring Hopeton Earthworks?

Hopeton Earthworks is located just beyond the Scioto River, east of the Mound City Group. This earthworks site was once home to a large circle and square earthwork, connected by two parallel walls that stretched for about 1/3 mile. Today, the site contains a self-guided trail that brings visitors to an overlook of the entire site. Careful examination of the landscape will reveal the remnants of the low-earthen walls of the circle and square. Interpretive mowing of the site has re-created the circle and the square that was once visible as earthen embankment. Today, tall grass stands upon the approximate spots where these earthen walls once stood. Visitors who hike to the overlook will be rewarded with a truly unique view of the landscape and an idea of what it once resembled.
