SO MUCH to see/do here that you'll need several visits (at least!!) to even scratch the surface. There's so much to see/do every season, it's tough to know where to start... Bike, fish, hike, picnic, take zillions of pictures, watch for deer and other "residents," and more!! Be sure to view the MASSIVE dam, it's impressive!! Don't miss seeing what there is to see at all of the separate entrances, definitely something for EVERYONE!! Next time, I'm bringing my bike!! Enjoy!!

If you are looking for a nice walk in the woods and down by the river, this is the place to go. We…read morehiked all on the east side of the river, totaling a little more than 5.5 miles round trip. Starting from an access trail next to the dam, we went counter clockwise , linking the yellow and orange trails. We probably did not get the full "experience" since we were there in the winter when the leaves were off the trees and the river level was low-ish. I am looking forward to coming back in other seasons. Two words of warning: Remember that the trails can be muddy due snowmelt, even if the snow has been gone for a few days. Saw several people out there today whose originally white sneakers are probably a few shades of darker brown now. Also, mud will be thicker and deeper down near the river where soil will have been pushed down the river during previous floods.

What a great little gem of a park! My mom and I met here for a mid-day hike and had a great time…read more The park is well-maintained. There are several parking lots and a few different trail heads. There are also bathrooms. The trails are well marked, but they really do not seem to match the map. That's my only complaint. But it's a small enough park that now that I've been there, I would know where to go next time. The gorge, the bridges, and the waterfall are all beautiful. There are several lookouts around the waterfall. It's all very picturesque and would be a great place for engagement or family photos. The river was also very clean and I was tempted to wade in to cool off.

Get…read morehere early in the morning before the lot fills up because it is particularly popular on weekends. Some people park on the little side road adjacent to the park with their wheels off the road. I have liked visiting this spot because if you head west you can access dirt/off-road trails through the nature preserve. Adds a great bit of variety to your walk or jog as you can imagine the that actual rail to trail is long and straight. And paved. The rail to trail is great for walking, jogging, rollerblading, cycling, etc. I have only gone a short section of this trail but looking forward to the time that I can explore the whole length. Get out there and enjoy this great linear park here in Dayton, seeing nature and getting some exercise. This is a wonderful resource to enjoy.

The trails are clean and well kept. If hiking isn't your thing, there are lots of areas to play frisbee, let your kids run around, or have a picnic in the shade.

I was actually…read moreplanning to check out another local attraction (Pearl's Fen) but this place was on the way, so I stopped, mostly out of curiosity, and I'm SO glad I did!! I had limited time, but did make it about 3/4 of the way around the main trail, with stops along the way to take pictures. Wonderful, varied scenery, varied terrain, and VERY scenic!! This old quarry has been "repurposed" and is a great spot to "get away from it all" without going too far. A good-sized lake, a few easy to moderate trails (the rocky lake overlooks are nice!!) and plenty of parking are what you'll find. No, not the best trail markings/maps, but if I figured it out, anyone can!! A great spot to discover in Greene County, I'll be back!!
