Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Edge of Appalachia Preserve is located 75 miles outside of Cincinnati, but as one of the most biodiverse areas in the state, it's well worth the drive. The preserve is home to more than 100 species of rare plants and animals, and it's an excellent place for birdwatching, particularly in the spring and autumn. There are more than 10 miles of secluded trails for hikers of almost all ability levels; depending on what you're looking for, you can hike past sheer limestone cliffs, climb up Buzzardroost Rock for a spectacular panoramic view, or take a gentle stroll through peaceful prairie land.
