Road trips aren’t always far from home with Gallia County offering road trip opportunities including two scenic byways and a special touring route for those on two or four wheels.
Welsh Scenic Byway
According to a news release from the Madog Center in Rio Grande, this 64-mile byway loops through Gallia and Jackson counties and showcases the imprint on the landscape of the Welsh settlement in southeastern Ohio during the 19th century. The byway connects many Welsh churches, cemeteries, and remains of charcoal furnaces built by the Welsh.
Visitors are treated to pastoral farms, including the Bob Evans Homestead, quaint cemeteries and wildlife areas that include Raccoon Creek where Daniel Boone hunted and trapped. It provides many cultural, historical, and recreational opportunities for the visitor that connects them to the area’s past, present, and future.

Delaware County, IN – People who walk, run or bike on Delaware County’s trails enjoy their recreational opportunities, but also their convenience for access to retail stores, restaurants and other businesses. They appreciate the added safety factor, since trails act as sidewalks along busy streets and roads.
And now the Delaware County commissioners are adding even more trail mileage in one of the area’s most traffic-intensive business districts.
Funding for roadwork by Delaware County officials will remain at the same level as recent years.
The Delaware County Council in 2020 faced a budget crunch due to COVID-19 revenue losses, forcing it to cut nearly $8 million out of the general fund to meet expected losses from the Department of Local Government Finance.
There have been concerns over how much money the highway department will have for road maintenance after the DLGF sent out a memorandum during budgeting season about what to expect with various governmental funds into 2021.
Two funds, Local Road and Street funding and Motor Vehicle Highway, are expected to be 82% of what cities and counties can normally expect on any given year.
