Octa, OH

Octa is a quiet village set along Rattlesnake Creek in western Fayette County. For residents who love getting outdoors, the paved Xenia-Jamestown Connector trail comes right into town at Water Street, linking the community directly to the extensive Miami Valley bike trail system. The local park offers a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon with ballfields, a playground, and a picnic shelter, with county plans in the works to extend the trail toward Washington Court House.
