There are a few spots that we got stuck but it's part of the entertainment. This was the 1st time we've been here even though we grew up and have lived less than 10miles from here our entire lives. The folks running the show weren't very friendly but maybe they were having a bad day. I did enjoy the peaceful float down the river and then we dropped by Corwin and had lunch and ice cream.

We had some bumps along the way, but otherwise, canoeing and kayaking with RiversEdge Outfitters was great! When I found out that we were doing the 9m ride I thought for sure it would be exhausting. But it was actually pretty relaxing and didn't notice how fast the time was passing. I also GREATLY appreciated the fact that they sold waterproof gear on site. Shoes, containers, phone bags...etc. I happen to forget my waterproof pouch for my phone and had a thought, "Oh, it'll be fine...I won't tip..." Changed my mind at the last minute before we got on the shuttle and man, I am GLAD I did...because when you say, "Oh, I won't tip..." You end up tipping. Thank you RiversEdge for a great time! : )

My children, who I was doing this for, had a blast too, and our canoe trip ended up being very peaceful and safe. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Booking the trip was extremely easy, and the people who checked us in were very friendly and helpful. I was nervous before setting out, and I had lots of questions, but the woman behind the counter was very patient with me. I was a little concerned at the length of the trip. Were we going to be stuck in the middle of the river for hours?! But no, I was reassured that the short trip (6 miles) would take about 45 minutes, and it did! You can opt for a longer trip down the river (12 miles). If you have young children or reluctant participants, though, I feel like the short trip is the perfect length. Another one of my worries is whether the river would be too high to be safe. It had rained the day before our visit. But Morgan's monitors the river depth whenever it rains, so they're on the ball with that. They seem ready to call it if they felt like the conditions are not safe. I like that. Speaking of safety: They provide you with a life jacket, which you choose yourself before you get your boat. There is a person sitting at the entrance to the life jacket station who I'm assuming is there to answer questions on fit, but we didn't need him. They have life jackets for all ages and sizes. So you start your trip at the livery, and if you choose the 6 mile trip, then you can end your trip at Morgan's campground. This is where we stopped, and we ended our trip by visiting the snack bar and getting a shave ice. There are some picnic benches here and open space to relax. Then there's a shuttle that will take you back to the livery, where you parked. We loved our experience with Morgan's, and if I'm in the area and want to go canoeing or kayaking again, I will definitely be a return customer.

Even on the busiest summer holidays, I have never struggled to find parking. There is a really nice fenced in dog area, as well as as a dog section of the beach.

I'm not a hiker, but I found the trail to be a somewhat easy hike for a senior and the walkways and guardrails were well-maintained. There are lots of benches to sit on to take in nature, darling native plants, and plenty of interesting facts to read about along the trail. We saw photos and explanations of how the Little Miami River was used to power grist and cotton mills, paper factories, and breweries. In the information building, we were greeted by the very friendly ranger, who gave us a botanical identification brochure (it would have been very useful during the hike) and introduced us to the turtles in their enclosure. The preserve was quiet, and we enjoyed ourselves so much. This is just the start of our adventure of the Clifton Gorge, and there are so many more activities to explore. We hope to be back during another season when the water in the gorge is flowing more rapidly.

This was our second time doing their 3.5 mile downstream kayak adventure (we visited pre-covid as well). Both times we had such a blast!

The waters were manageable and fun to maneuver and we stopped along the river banks to picnic. When we returned their were complimentary ice cream sandwiches waiting for us. I can tell that the owner puts a lot of love into his business and genuinely cares that we have a good experience. Wear water shoes and sun protection and pack a cooler with drinks and snacks.
