You will find Amish buggies along with equestrians, bike and hiking and walking on this trail which will soon join with the Holmes County Trail when it is completed. The trail is built on the old Pennsylvania Railroad. The horse hitching posts at the Bridge of Dreams are constructed out of original metal pipe used on the railroad. The steel beams that form the structure for the Bridge of Dreams were erected in 1944. This portion of the Pennsylvania Railroad closed after the 1959 flood washed out track and bridges to the east.
The former railroad bridge is a 370-foot covered bridge that spans the Mohican River. It was originally built in the 1920's and converted to the covered bridge in 1998 as part of the Mohican Valley Trail.
