    This place is such a gem. It has something here for everyone…read more The trails are beautiful and range from easy to more moderate, so whether you want a relaxing walk or a bit of a challenge, you can find it here. It is one of those places that reminds you not to underestimate Ohio's natural beauty. There are hiking challenges too you can sign up for prizes. There is a really cute nature themed playground that is perfect for kids. This place also makes an amazing venue for events. You can rent spaces for parties or weddings, which is my dream venue. The welcome center is one of my favorite parts. They have live animals that are very well cared for, including rehabilitated raptors, which is so cool to see up close. There is also a large gift shop, a cozy lounging area, and coffee from Coffee Emporium available to buy. It is a great place to relax and take everything in, especially if you enjoy birdwatching. They also host seasonal events, and their Christmas lights event is one of my favorites. It really brings the whole place to life in a special way. The staff here are consistently kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to talk with you. They are always willing to answer questions and make the experience even better. Overall, this is such a peaceful, educational, and well maintained place. Definitely somewhere you can keep coming back to and still enjoy every time.

    Love the walking trails and ponds. Plenty of parking. Weekends are always crowded. Dog friendly.read more

    We walked the bike trail. Parked at veteran park in Morrow near Sunoco gas station. Drove down the…read moregravel road beside ball field 2 easy access to bike trail. The walk was lovely. Lots of shade as you walk alongside the river. Lots of birds ... I ran my merlin bird app.

    I love the Little Miami scenic bike Trail. This is a paved path that runs from Dayton past Newtown…read more They are trying to expand the connection from Newtown to Lunken, which would then connect to downtown. They are working on putting in a bridge to get across the river after the trailhead in Newtown. They are hopeful to start in the spring of 2021. I usually park my car in Loveland, as I live in that area. When I ride my bike, I try to head towards Milford. From Loveland to a little bit past Milford and back, is about a 20 mile round-trip. If I ride from Loveland to the trail head at Newtown, there is a small addition of the trail that runs through a park in Anderson and dead ends under the bridge where the project will eventually begin. This additional 3 mile stretch can add 6 miles onto your bike ride, and it's one of my favorite parts! There are tons of wildflowers to see and is in direct sun. When it is windy, this 6 mile stretch can be difficult, as there is nothing breaking the wind (you are not in the woods anymore but out in the open). You can usually see planes flying low, as they are trying to land at Lunken Airport just across the river. Whether walking, running, or biking, I have felt very safe on this trail. I keep my cell phone close at all times, but I have never felt uncomfortable. Know that you may be the only one on the bike trail in certain areas. If you do you not prefer that, you may want to stick near the areas that have parking lots attached to the trail. These areas would be Loveland and Milford and Newtown. It is definitely one of my favorite parts of my town. My life would be so much different without this beautiful Bike Trail!
