Just north of Cincinnati, this scenic southwest Ohio area offers a variety of the BEST family outdoor fun with soft adventure activities and natural beauty.
Lace up your hiking boots or sneakers for an awe-inspiring journey along the naturally preserved sections of the 70+ mile paved and shaded path of the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail.

Located just off the trail are a number of bed and breakfast spots, and convenient access to dining and shopping in quaint towns and villages.
The Little Miami River is nationally recognized as one of the Top Ten Scenic Rivers in the U.S. Rent a canoe, raft or kayak; stroll the banks looking for wild flowers; plan a picnic; or pull out the binoculars and go bird-watching for species indigenous to our area. There are many opportunities to appreciate the environmental significance of this local water gem on a river excursion with trained ecology lovers.

Caesar Creek State Park features 10,000 acres of mature forests and a 2,830-acre lake for boating and fishing. Picnics among the trees, swimming, fossil hunts, nature hikes and bird-watching are just a few of the ways to appreciate this natural setting.
Give your body healthy fuel with organic foods deliciously prepared at local eateries. Making their own specialties with fresh (and vegetarian) products are: Cobblestone Café in Waynesville, Lebanon’s Copperfield’s Coffee Café or Gourmet on Broadway, and Wild Oats in Mason.
