    Exceptional view of the city! It's really quiet, clean, and peaceful. It's a great place for a picnic or just to go sit and enjoy the view.

    Great view potential here. There’s some great seating to look at Cincinnati, but I’d like it if the park could trim back some of the brush along the edge to open up the view. Plenty of parking and a great area for picnics/reading.

    We come in a cold day, but the chilly wind did not blow us away! The best viewspot in Kentucky for the skyline of Cincy!

    Plenty of parking. It's a nice small area, there may be a lot of people since it's a nice popular area that overlooks the city of Cincinnati. Few benches, plenty of grass to sit on for a picnic, little garden of flowers. Great place to watch the sunset, was currently about 7:30ish since sun sets past 8pm.

    INCREDIBLE VIEW OF CINCINNATI. this is my first time being in this part of Kentucky I am absolutely stunned at the shocking view of Cincinnati I have lived here all of my life and I am absolutely amazed that I have never been told about nor have I ever visited this area of Kentucky there is a great playground and a park and it looks like there are a lot of hiking trails. People walking everywhere and walking their dogs walking their kids lol walking both you know how it goes in these neighborhoods. It seems really nice not snooty or uppity just a real nice park overlooking the beautiful city of Cincinnati I will have to come by here sometime in the evening and try and get some sunset night shots as could be absolutely incredible especially during the summer or even in the fall when all the leaves are starting to change colors that would be really really incredible I have not seen anyone post pictures yet of the fall here in Cincinnati area or should I say the tri-state area but as soon as it happens I will make sure to take pictures and post them up here as soon as possible hopefully if someone reads this review and it happens to be Fall they will take pictures and post them as well it is a beautiful time of the season this year as you can tell the winter has not been very bad we got a little bit of snow and a couple really deep cold snaps but nothing too terribly bad this day during the winter time it was almost 75° outside which according to global warmest say that that seems to be a bad thing but to me it is a good thing I feel that everyone should have the Florida lifestyle all year around besides if it was this warm we could grow more food and feed more people just think about it if the Earth didn’t warm up a little bit we could grow so much more food and we could feed so much anymore people around the world what a great idea let’s all pray for the globe to warm up a little bit more so that we can take care of those that are in need God bless everyone

    This was a complete happenstance we wound up here. What a gem. The employee of the random Walgreens we stopped in suggested it to us, it wasn't far away. Beautiful view of Cincinnati, the grounds were inviting. Definitely would recommend checking it out.

    Beautiful area for sightseeing but public bathrooms need to be marked a little better lol. The tiny lizards and amazing view of Cincinnati/Covington totally made up for the need to pee.

    I take anyone who is visiting us to this scenic spot. Truly one of the best views of both the Ohio and Kentucky sides. There is sky and city. Great for pictures. Recommend going to finke's deli to pick up a sandwich and heading to the overlook. There are picnic tables and a view waiting for you.

    Awesome views, very relaxing and quiet. There are also 8 tables with benches here, so bring your food and dig in. No shade, though, over the eating area, and bring your own table cloths. This is a don't miss experience.

    Beautiful place to look at Cincinnati city skyline. Definitely a worthwhile a drive if you live near the metroplex. I took my friends to this location and they were impressed.

    Excellent view of the Cincinnati skyline. Park itself is pretty good, but I didn't check out anything besides the view on this trip.

  • 5/5 Alexandria A. 3 months ago on Google • 52 reviews New
    Amazing! The views were kinda shocking at first because it was absolutely phenomenal how much beauty surrounds such chaos in the midst of things. Just have to see it for yourself. This is absolutely something that goes well beyond explanation. Definitely a great spot for pictures and events or just a place to go relax maybe even meditate. Very peaceful actually and there's multiple different viewpoints. A must see for sure!

    What a view! We didn't have much time to visit Cincinnati, so we picked one thing to do. I'm glad we did.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 2 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Great overlook of the city and hiking trails n adventure 😀

  • 5/5 Lianid C. 3 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Beautiful place to stop and admire Cincinnati! Will definitely come back when warmer weather surrounds this place.

  • 5/5 brian b. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place, amazing view, great staff, good food. I attended a wedding here so no idea what it cost, but the experience was fantastic. Only downside is the scenic area you rent out is right next to the public viewing area, wasn't an issue in our case though.

  • 5/5 Jennifer W. 7 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous park setting with a perfect view. Picnic tables or grass, it was all very well maintained.

  • 5/5 Patrick G. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best views in the whole city. There's an event space for rent, and plenty of parking. The rest of devou is also worth seeing, but there's no better spot in the city for a picnic on a nice day than the overlook.

  • 5/5 madison 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely park and view. Great spot for a picnic! I wish the park ranger was a little less....in your face. It would be so lovely to watch the sunset here, but he'd lose his mind if you tried to be at the park at that time. He's so aggressive if you are even just sitting when it even slightly gets dark

  • 5/5 Mark T. 10 months ago on Google
    A great viewpoint of the city and only a short drive from the Interstate

  • 5/5 P Ibarrarazo (. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place for a silent moment and a wonderful city view from a very different angle.

  • 5/5 Scott C. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect spot for a great overlook of the city for visitors and locals alike. Usually quiet and relaxing. There’s a large open grassy area that’s mowed and well kept to spread a picnic blanket and enjoy the view, or for the kids to play. There’s also several picnic tables with a great view as well.

  • 5/5 Morgan E. 10 months ago on Google
    Super pretty overlook, no shade or places for hammocks but a good picnic spot

  • 5/5 Jess E. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing views! Well-kept and maintained area. Worth the drive to check it out.

  • 5/5 The Real American John S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the coolest places I had never been to before. This is probably the best view of Cincinnati you will see There are a few other good places to get really good views of the city from, but this one is the top spot in my book.

  • 5/5 Denise J. 1 year ago on Google
    We came from out of town for sunset but the sunset was behind us way up the hill so that was a bust. We needed the gps on, signs were confusing. There is a ramp or stairs to go down the hill a little way to see this view. It was beautiful for sure.

  • 5/5 Carole H. 1 year ago on Google
    We happened to this park by accident and what a find! It was totally worth it to drive to Kentucky to see the view of the Ohio River Valley and the entire city of Cincinnati. You really get a feeling for how huge the Ohio River had to be to carve this view out of the landscape. It really is a site to see and it's just a short walk from the parking lot.

  • 4/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Park services needs to clean up trash from the ground more often. Overall still a beautiful area to view the city.

  • 5/5 Joseph K. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning view of Cincinnati and the river. Great for picnics as there are several picnic tables, trash receptacles and grassy hill to sit on. Very peaceful at sunrise and saw several people walking on the paths.

  • 4/5 Anita A. 1 year ago on Google
    The view is spectacular, but the brick is busted in a lot of spots, the benches are all rusted, and the weeds in front of the park are taking away from the view.

  • 5/5 Erica M. 1 year ago on Google
    Devou park Overlook has a wonderful views of Cincinnati Skyline.
