Just be aware: The trails are moderate and there are some pretty steep spots. It is good for families with older kids, and pets - yay!! but not stroller friendly. I definitely recommend wearing good hiking shoes or boots to have a better grip on the ground. . The park itself is just beautiful. Lots of woodlands that let you recharge your soul. Benches along the trail invite for a break or to soak in the beautiful scenery.

Ok had been back to these trails in years and decided to do 2 trails the red and the blue both were…read morearound a mile each. It had been dry so didn't have to worry about mud and it had been cool lately so was hoping the bugs weren't a problem. So doused myself in bug repellent and headed out on my own to get some steps in. love walking in nature. I took pics of the trail map and color of the trail i was doing so I didn't get lost ... at least that was my goal. I did the red and then the blue. both trails were harder than I was looking for. The hills were steep and slippery .. plus rock and roots to stumble on. a few areas were so steep I had to find branches to make myself a walking stick. but the blue trail was a hot mess. so over grown and trees down. At one point it just ended .. the trail led to a lot of brush I ended up walking in the woods in areas that didn't look like a trail. alot was so over grown and they obviously aren't clearing this area and no one is going on the blue trail. Then I get to the parking lot and see the same colors I'd been on in the area near the overlook ... which I'd never been to. So is that different trails with the same colors .... I'm not sure. I followed the signs for blue and red and neither took me to this. I def wont return alone. there were several times I slipped and stumbled and it was scary especially alone. I made it out without falling and lived to hike again somewhere else another day. There was a guy in his truck when I started and the same guy was sitting there when I went to my car .. found that creepy and weird. It was 80 plus degrees why just sit there alone ... odd. park staff should clear the blue trail ... it's a hazard

We are so very lucky to have such a wonderful trail close to us. The picture is taken at maybe 1/2 mike north of Tipp City. It's too new to be equipment used to clear the canal as the last boat passed this way in 1912. It's still interesting and it's on the left if your traveling north to Troy.

It's a nice trail, clearly marked and with several benches along the way. It's a loop of about a mile and a half, which ends by the creek. There's no real vista while the leaves are still on the trees, perhaps in winter? Maybe I'll make it back to find out!

This is a fantastic 4.9 mile loop trail for a day hike. I don't normally give much credence to…read moretrail difficulty ratings in the Midwest, but the "expert" trail definitely isn't easy on foot (I imagine it would be super challenging on a mountain bike). The trail weaves through old timber, dipping and diving between marshes that flank the White River. The trail actually divides at various points into easy, intermediate and expert legs. To get the full 4.9 miles, you have to take all of the expert loops, but they are the fun ones anyway. The trail was not heavily trafficked, even on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The loop is one-way traffic, so you won't likely see anyone else unless you overtake them or vice-versa. That also means no turning back once you start. Take water and a snack. The full 4.9 will take over 2 hours to hike. Also, with all of the marshes, there are lots of bugs in the summer months. Make sure to apply plenty of deet.

I saw cute yellow birds while watching from the car .. the dandelions were moving and turns out it was lots of yellow birds (i think American finches .. more than 10) . the rain stopped and i had decided to not try it and was just about to drive away when a lady drove up and started to walk by herself. I asked her if it was safe to walk alone and she said she did it all the time and kindly invited me to walk with her. We walked the paved bike trail by the river .. we chatted a bit and enjoyed nature .. the mature trees, birds singing .. in midst of the road noise.Turns out this paved trail is a part of Great Miami trail.
