"This one of the most quietly beautiful places in Ohio. Lots of easy trails. Walking the river when it is low is also a fine thing to do. Winter there is spectacular. The orchids in high summer are a miracle on the cliff faces."

"Excellent spot for a hike. I came here today with a large meet up group. Really enjoyed walking along the river and seeing the large rock formations ahead and above."

"Each time I go here I'm always surprised there aren't more people enjoying this beautiful park! Two different playgrounds including equipment for young ones. Amphitheater with live music every Sunday. Beautiful river to hunt cray fish. Ponds to fish in. Many scheduled events put on by the metro parks. You won't regret visiting!"
