About This Trail

Explore wooded trails at this 2,430-acre park where the Great Miami meets the Ohio River, passing overlooks with views into the Kentucky hills. The park preserves nearly 40 prehistoric earthworks dating back 14,000 years, and bald eagles are commonly spotted cruising above the river.
