East pinnacle & Indian Point

Hiking area

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful place to hike!! The trails can be challenging in areas, but it really pays off when you reach the top of the mountain. This place is perfect, whether you plan to stay for a few hours or all day. They even have free walking sticks to use at the start of the trail.

5.00 (41 reviews) (~171.64 km from centre)

Rock House

Hiking area

👍👍 This place was absolutely amazing. The hike isn't too hard so any age can do it. Getting inside the Rock House is also very easy but don't drag your feet. The very end of the trail does go up a slightly steep hill so save some energy for that.

Cincinnati Nature Center

Nature preserve

👍 I don't make it to CNC very often any more due to physical limitations but this place is amazing and I'm hoping it is still well hiked!! Red wing trail!! Not 5 stars because the aforementioned trail is ALWAYS muddy! Bring old shoes and you'll have a blast!

Red River Gorge Ziplines

Adventure sports

👍👍 What an awesome experience! Dawson, Kayla and Joe were fantastic guides. We knew it was going to storm and after polling the group, we all decided to hustle and get in the ziplines before the rain. We made it back to the bus before the rain came down. Awesome time!!

Red River Gorge Geological Area

National forest

Area of huge cliffs & sandstone arches carved by the Red River, with a visitor center.

4.90 (761 reviews) (~160.66 km from centre)

Creation Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful place. The trail was a lot more than we had expected from the reviews. You'll go down a lot, then you have to go back up a lot. We're both in our 60's, so it was difficult for us. Probably nothing to someone who hikes a lot. Still, it was a beautiful hike.

Auxier Ridge Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 This is a really fun day hike, with great views and plenty of spots to rest along the way. I highly recommend doing Double Arch, then head to Court House Rock, and finish with the views on Auxier Ridge. If you start in the Auxier Ridge parking section you will head left of the main trail head, and t...

Hocking Hills State Park Old Man's Cave

Hiking area

👍👍 The Old Man’s Cave trail was a nice path that leads to some impactful scenery. Clean and well preserved, the trail leads to an obstacle-like path where the earth elements air, earth, and water create magical eye catching glimpses of nature extending its invitation to its guests. Our four-legged frie...

Bernheim Forest

Nature preserve

👍👍 What a wonderful place! Beautiful, accessible, with moderate terrain well suited for all ages! My family and I came, with our pup, specifically for the Giants and they did not disappoint. Entry is free but a donation is suggested. The Giants have a specific trail mapped out to meet all three within...

Muir Valley Nature Preserve and Climbing Area

Rock climbing

👍👍 I love this place, I have been coming here for years and it never gets old. There is a $10 parking fee but that's it, so plan to carpool. Parking goes quick so plan to get there early if you want a good spot, but the location is so large it doesn't feel crowded. If you're into rock climbing or hikin...
