Nice area. One way the trail is very close to the road but the views are nice. The trail(s) that go to John Bryan are a little more nature-y. No bathrooms, one port-a-john at the closed nature center. It was cold but busy - I suspect in the summer it is non-stop people to people on the hike.

This is the highlight of hiking in the area. You could skip parking in John Byran SP and just park in the small lot at the north end of the gorge along SR 343. Make it a loop by hiking the north rim trail either out or back.

My absolute favorite place to smell the woods & see wild flowers! Humans are still very respectful of this beautiful gorge. We are very blessed to have such beauty near us for free!

A beautiful hike, especially when added on to the John Bryan loop. Dogs aren't allowed into the Gorge. Hike the whole thing and read the signs for local history.

Several miles of moderate trails dotted with several interpretive signs adorn this preserve which adjoins to John Bryant state park to extend the hiking for miles. A must see in the preserve is the Devils Rocking Chair where the gorge narrows and the water swirls creating a turbulent area of the creek.

Do take the walk on the gorge trail. It is easy and very rewarding, very unusual for Ohio. It is the spring fed beginnings of the Little Miami Scenic River after it passes (and previously powered the Clifton Mill) which passes through a deep narrow gorge. Don't miss this if you are in the area. The start is near the now touristy mill.

Just a great hiking experience. We were hiking close to 3 hours and the weather was glorious for the last Sunday in October. We really enjoyed it as did many other that day that were out hiking taking advantage of the perfect weather. The natural colours and vibrant views were incredible, and great photo opportunities too. A really lovely area then the short drive to Yellow Springs and a late brunch at The Winds Cafe (See my review).

My wife and I are fortunate to live just walking distance from the Gorge and we love this place. We enjoy day hikes inside of the Gorge and picnics. We get to see wonderful greenery and listen to the sounds of the water running through. Amazing!!! Enjoy.

My wife and I really enjoyed hiking the trails and seeing the breathtaking views along the gorge. Overlooks were placed in just the right places to provide awesome photo opportunities.

Very beautiful preserve. Trails are very easy for a little one to hike and run. Loved the dramatic cliffs and the beautiful waterways throughout the preserve. There is a state park nearby that offers camping as well, which looks like a great spot !
