The Lakes to Ocean Trail (LOT) is an approximately 3,000 mile long hiking trail from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and spans wilderness and urban areas. It was created by Scot "Taba" Ward,[1] and connects five pre-existing long trails with Rail Trails (bicycle greenways), backcountry roads, and shorter existing trails. The eastern section of the trail offers two separate routes.[2]
