I've lived in Delhi all my life and visit many parks all over Cincinnati. For some reason I've…read morenever gone to Bender Mountain Preserve until this year. Why? I have no idea. It's close to home and it's trails offer an amazing workout. Bender Mountain Preserve has many trails some that go along the creek bed, with others that are much more difficult, climbing up to a 45 degree incline. Once up top there is an amazing view overlooking the Ohio River Valley and Kentucky. Bender Mountain Preserve is more hiking trails than a standard park. It's very remote and even during peak times you may only see a hand full of other hikers. Plus dog friendly!!

We visited the conservatory at the park during a recent weekend visit to Cincy. This was my first…read moretime to Eden Park. It's a little nature oasis just a stone's throw from the heart of the city. You'll find the conservatory, great landscaping, a large fountain, natural wetland spaces and views overlooking the city. We also appreciated some of the historic structures found here. It appears to be a popular spot for prom photos and rightly so!

Awwwwww...Eden Park has been one of my favorite "go to" spots for many years. It's location in…read more(Walnut Hills) is easy to get to and offers exceptional views of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. You can just sit and relax in the sun or rest under trees while enjoying a breeze. The park offers 186 acres of lushness. The fountain adds a nice, cool mist and it sparkles in the sun. Of course there are signs of small animals/wildlife, but that's all part of enjoying the great outdoors! Take another look at Eden Park. Discover how the mello vibes can ease your mind. Walking through as the sun sets makes for a beautiful constitutional for the evening. Go on! Plan your next outing or just take a second to relax at Eden Park!

California Woods has an address that's inside Cincinnati, but it doesn't look like most of the…read moreother parks in the City. The road in here is about a mile long, and it's VERY narrow - so narrow that I suspect it would be dangerous if you run into someone driving in the opposite direction... True to its name, this place has some fairly dense woods, and it's also got a fair number of hills. You'll find trailmaps for the taking inside the park, and you'd be wise to bring bug spray ;-)

This was another new (to us) hiking spot my husband and I checked out recently. On a Friday morning…read morewe only saw one other group in the woods. A good mix of flat, hilly, and moderate trails. One trail had pages from a children's book on signs as you went along the path, which was cute. Like others have said, it's not always very intuitive which trail you're on. But since they all lead back to the main path, you never feel like you're lost. Also want to reiterate driving in/out slowly due to the narrow road leading in.

This place was amazing to just come and take some pictures on our last night of vacation. Plus my…read moreson had a ton of fun running around.

It's perfect for getting together with friends, with multiple gathering areas and even rentable spaces. I've seen people taking engagement photos here, hosting weddings, and I even did my own graduation pictures here. It really is such a beautiful setting for special moments. One thing that always surprises me is how big it is. There are genuine hiking trails that wind through the woods, which is amazing for a park so close to the city. It's also great for birding, and I often see people playing frisbee, walking their dogs, or just enjoying a peaceful walk. The native plants and flowers are so well maintained, and there are so many little tucked away spots where you can sit with friends or a partner and enjoy a quiet, private moment. It's an absolutely beautiful park in a great area, and I can't recommend it enough.

A nice little oasis within the city, lots packed into this park: trails, disc golf, an arboretum, a…read morepond, playgrounds, the treehouse, and picnic spots. The treehouse was pretty cool to see and near the treehouse was where we started our hike. Plenty of ups and downs on the trail that we went on. I'm not sure if I struggle at following the trail signs, but went the wrong way a couple times and think that the trail that we were trying to follow had multiple names. All was fine though, got to do a bit more exploring. The creek is pretty dried up. I would have liked more signage for hiking trailheads at the entrance of the park, so head to the left (as if you're going to the treehouse) at the entrance if you want to hike. Disc golf looks like it'd be really good here, I hope to come back and try it out.

Save your energy for the end! I'd say this is a beginner to moderate trails, since some pathways are covered with roots or leaves which could be uneven or slippery. Also, there are so many different trail options so don't go too close to dark if it's your first time, wouldn't want to risk getting lost. Dogs on leashes are welcome!

Most of it is dirt with little rocks so if it recently rained, I would steer clear. All trail junctions had a marker so I knew I was on the right path. Overall a great and long hike through a dense forest smack in the middle of Cinci. Would recommend to urban trail enthusiasts and those just looking for a close and strenuous-ish hike.
