At 4000+ acres, this is the largest park in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. It offers a wide range of facilities from an 18 hole golf course to an 85 acre lake with boat rentals (kayaks, paddle and peddle boats, etc.) and a snack bar. There are picnic areas, playgrounds and foot, bicycle, and even horse trails, as well as a camp ground with electrical hookups, shower building, and waste dump facility. There's even an 11 acre, off lease dog park with a variety of other pooch amenities. The visitor center can help learn about all of these facilities, as well as providing nature education and even a gift shop. We stopped here early on a weekend morning to take a walk - we parked by the lake and visitor center and after looking around there, took off on the Shaker Trace trail. This trail actually has a 1.4 mile inner loop (it is also known as the fitness trail with a number rudimentary exercise stations with parallel bars, etc. along the way) and a 7.8 mile outer loop. Unfortunately, we didn't have the 2.5 hours to go around the outer loop, so did the inner loop and then walked for another hour or so on part of the outer loop to get a feel for it as well. Both are paved and accommodate both foot and bicycle traffic. The inner loop is mostly flat with a mix of wooded and open areas, while the outer loop gets into a bit more interesting terrain with more natural surroundings away from roads. We saw a variety of wildlife (as well as few people, but being early not too many) including deer, herons, wild turkey, foxes, hawks, etc. Both trails were very well maintained. We only scratched the surface of all that this park has to offer and will undoubtedly be back to enjoy it further when we can spend more time.

We had not been to this reserve before. It was sunny and warm and we wanted to do a test drive R&D for a cross country van life adventure. We read that dogs could be off leash and we were excited to take our dog Frida with us. There are 2 parts to the park we explored the first. The trails were clear and depending how fast you walk the terrain is interesting enough to to get you cardiovascular system going. We were there to slow things down and soak everything Mother Nature was offering. There is a stream that initially seems to be not much of a stream at and then all of a sudden it really opens. It is big enough to play in and Frida loved it. We spent most of our time figuring out all of the different ways to cross the stream. If you do explore the stream bring shoes that you want to make a mess with, ones you don’t mind getting wet. It was nice to see so many people out. Families, couples, people adventuring with their dogs. Every dog that was off leash clearly had done so before. There were no incidents. The dogs on leash were not at all bothered when approached by an off leash dog. There is a lot more to explore and I can’t wait to go back.
