Hike... Caesar Creek Gorge State Nature Preserve.

Caesar Creek State Nature Preserve, nestled away in Warren county, boasts 483 acres of land just below the state park of the same name. This little preserve has a very interesting layout, with a 2.25 mile loop trail that follows the waterway giving great views of the gorge. A nice, easy hike that is great for the whole family, it is mostly flat, until you start to climb out of the floodplain. A short, but steep climb brings you up above the gorge, and you finish the hike in a wooded trail that loops around and brings you back to your car. This preserve is also across the road from a Little Miami river canoe access.

After a small climb, the trail drops into the floodplain.

Once in the valley, there are many great views of the gorge's steep walls.

Final section of the trail in the wooded highlands.

This is a great area to visit, and also to introduce the younger members of your family to hiking. A great area for Spring wildflowers, birdwatching, or just a place to escape the city and relax in nature. Not very many people take advantage of this preserve, go see for yourself!
