I think this is my first time reviewing a rest area, but this warrants a shout out!…read more On a recent trip south we stopped in Ohio at one of the newly-refurbished rest areas. Wow! If every rest area was this clean and well-stocked with vending machines, I wouldn't hesitate to pull over as I sometimes do on long car trips. The foyer has a vaulted ceiling and windows that let in plenty of light. Large maps help you navigate the rest of your trip. And there are plenty of stalls in the bathrooms and a family restroom with a changing table for the littlest travelers. There's a first time for everything, but this won't be my last stop at the refurbished rest area!

Here there is something for everyone. It is a nostalgic place for me and many others who are from…read moreTroy, Ohio. But for many, this is a new and booming place, but it's not exactly new. This is not just any park...here is a little history: In the early 1940's, several Troy residents began clearing the river and the banks of rubbish in hopes of using the area for water activates. They even cleared away the remains of an old wooden damn located just north of the Adams St. Bridge. Then, Edward Alvah (E. A.) and William Hobart took an interest in the park and provided the heavy equipment needed to assist in the process of clearing. That's right...E.A and William Hobart of the Hobart Brothers Corporation. The Hobart Corporation used to be based in Troy, Ohio. Yes, that's right...the ones that created and made Kitchenaid for the home and for commercial use...and they are still made today (just not here). Let us not forget the welders, generators and industrial equipment as well to name a few. They weren't always made in a foreign country. Indeed, Hobart was alive and well in Troy, Ohio and the surrounding area once upon a time. The Corporation put quite the thumbprint on Troy, this is one of them. The leaders of the Hobart Brothers Corporation wanted to provide a location for not only boating enthusiasts, but also for their employees to enjoy the Great Miami River and all activities related to water. So, they constructed a marina, a boathouse, and a launch area with a lighthouse all from the profits of the company. At one time there was a baseball diamond located here and playground equipment as well. The place boomed with boating activities, festivals and company picnics for many years. My grandparents and parents used to speak of the fun times here. In the 1960's, E.A. Hobart gave the boathouse and property to the city of Troy as a gift. Troy accepted and decided it had great recreational potential. It has been utilized in many ways over the years. It has even seen days of non-use and dilapidation as well sadly. Some of my fondest memories growing up were playing out on the island after crossing a bridge...and we always fed the ducks. I used to love to ride my bike down that steep hill coming in and lift my legs & feet off the peddles. We used to rent canoes and paddle boats below...sweet memories. But what was once old, is new again. It brings me tears of joy to see this place come alive again and alive it is indeed. This place not only has its own website now, but it has a Facebook page too! There is a fairly new restaurant in the building called "Smith's Boathouse". The Smith family has a history of their own. I went to school with one of the brothers and was able to enjoy the family restaurant in Maui (Yummy). It is a great addition to the Park. And if you get a chance, please check it out. But not only that, there is now an area for concerts in addition to the typical walks, playing, biking, picnicking or just hanging out and enjoying the view. There is quite the venue these days at Treasure Island. It makes me smile that it is alive again. Although people call it "new", please don't forget the history, how it started, why it's here and how it has evolved. When in Troy...stop down...a water activity may interest you, a stroll, a bike ride...or maybe just the view. These are only a few things you can do there...there is something for everyone...to include finding that special spot for peace and quiet. http://www.troyohio.gov/587/Treasure-Island-Park https://www.facebook.com/pages/Treasure-Island-Park/142286295802726

It's a pretty decent falls so has to be really cold for weeks to freeze. To get the good view ... well you have to walk out on a ledge. That day it was still icy and slippery. I was alone and more than a little afraid of falling. But really afraid of falling off the ledge into the water or frozen water ... possibly to my death. The ledge to get the view i wanted is slanted down so being icy it was scary. after this stop i went to Charleston falls.

I agree with the earlier reviewer that the Ludlow Falls are breathtaking and deserve their own Yelp…read morePark Page because you can't see when you are driving on the bridge which hides their beauty. I heard about these falls on the news the previous weekend this May. While cliff diving looks appealing, the alluring, serene flow of the water hides a strong undertow, trapping the would-be swimmer / diver from surfacing. The warning signs pointing this is out are routinely stolen. As a result, local park servicemen have posted new signage deterring folks from jumping into the falls. The best way to enjoy these falls are from the banks or walking down the hidden stair case so you can be level with them. We opened some IPAs from the local Troy brewery, Moellers and watched the waters pass by. Nicole is local to this area and had never been here before. When asked, her parents recalled the Christmas light festivities that hung across the falls many years ago which was fun to go to. However, this annual activity is no longer. Definitely worth a stop if you like water falls.
