Ohio River Trail — Attraction in Cincinnati

Beautiful front door to Cincinnati that offers iconic views of both the riverfront and the city skyline. A must-see on any trip to the Queen City in order to really take in the beauty of the Roebling Suspension Bridge that sits in the middle of the park. Catch it in spring or summer to see its gardens at the best.

Loads of family-friendly features make this the perfect spot to relax and let kids run wild. The spray fountains and playgrounds will keep them occupied along with the carousel that overlooks the park. I recommend taking a blanket and finding a spot in the shade under the Roebling Suspension Bridge (to listen to it sing) or amongst the tree groves.

The Ohio River Trail, that runs through the park and connects to other riverside parks along the Ohio, makes this an easy place to run or bike. Both nearby Red Bike stations and the bike center make it simple to rent bikes and explore the whole area.

This is also a great place to clear your mind in the middle of the work day with the porch swings offering a great way to take in the mighty Ohio's flow and with the labyrinth giving an easy...

This park is a wonderful island of green in the very heart of the Cincinnati area. I walk here all the time. The swings along the river are a delight for relaxation in and enjoying the beauty of the Ohio River.

The view reveals the sweeping lines of Roebling Bridge, which is an esthetic delight. This one of the pretties bridges you will ever see. The Roebling was built in the 1860s, to serve as a prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge. The design was regarded as a great break through in bridge architecture and design. Now, this type of bridge design can be found all over the world, but the Roebling and the Brooklyn were the first and second bridges in the world using this type of design.

The Riverwalk is a wonderful place for walking, jogging, bicycling (rentals are available), It's also a wonderful place to simply relax. The labyrinth is a very popular feature. It's very good place for mediation and for relaxing and thinking. Picnicking here is...

Smale park is unbelievably awesome addition to Cincinnati. The grounds are meticulously cared for and beautiful. There are lots of places to picnic layout and enjoy, and you can also play and meet lots of new friends.

For families with kids, there are few better places in the city to go to, especially in the warm water. Our kids had a blast playing in the different water environments - from the fountains near Great American Ballpark, to the splash area with pumps, drains and fun nozzles. And even in the creek area that stones to jump on.

Great views of the city and river.

I remember as a kid driving to Reds games from Florence, KY. We would always park in Covington and walk across the bridge. And, it was pretty dirty and shady looking on the OH side. Still shake my head and am just so happy about the investment to clean up the Banks and make this a beautiful place for locals and...
