Clermont County, OhioRiver Access and Summer Wildflowers
This 42-acre riverside forest preserve has almost two miles of trails. It provides views and access to the Little Miami River. Because of the exceptional quality of the river’s aquatic ecosystem and riparian habitat, the Little Miami is designated a National Wild and Scenic River. Only one quarter of one percent of the nation’s rivers receive this distinction. The preserve also includes a three-acre prairie area that offers abundant summer wildflowers.
