Situated just east of John Bryan National Park, the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve protects one of the finest examples of interglacial and postglacial canyon-cutting you will find anywhere.
The gorge includes a 2-mile stretch of the Little Miami State and National Scenic River and you can explore the stunning landscape along 10 different hiking trails or on over 7 miles of mountain biking trails.
You can visit the preserve on a day-visitor basis or bring you tent or RV to the campsite at John Bryan National Park to spend some quality time getting back to nature.
Hiking the gorge will give you the opportunity to see cascading waterfalls, great birdlife, and a spectacular show of wildflowers in spring. Map
