With this new guide, hikers discover many of the local hidden hiking treasures that are in and around Ohio’s most picturesque city, located on a historic river at the confluence of three states. Places such as Caldwell Nature Preserve, Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary, and Quiet Trails Nature Preserve offer incredible views, ample wildlife and wildflowers, and a chance to get away from everything and enjoy the simple pleasure of nature. Many of the trails, between three and five miles in length, cover Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and range from family friendly to the more rigorous. While Sharon Woods offers a leisurely, accessible paved trail for most of the way, Clifty Falls State Park tests the seasoned hiker's ability to concentrate on crossing slippery rocks without falling into the stream. Clear maps, simple directions, accurate driving times, and a wealth of trail details make this the perfect companion to a Queen City day hike.
