The James Magrish Riverlands Preserve protects a lovely natural river bottom habitat along Cincinnati's National Scenic Little Miami River, preserved through efforts by the Cincinnati Park Board, Little Miami Incorporated, and the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. The park showcases a wide variety of environmental areas for water-adapted wildlife, ranging from long-legged wading birds such as great blue and green herons to wood ducks, willow flycatchers, and a variety of frog species. Fox, deer, muskrats, and beavers are also spotted frequently at the park by wildlife watchers. Park amenities were developed as a result of funds donated by Little Miami Incorporated supporter Edith Krohn Magrish in honor of her late husband James. Visitors can access the park's scenic hiking trails, view water panoramas from its river overlook, or use its canoe launch for paddling exploration of the surrounding waterway.
