John Bryan State Park

We have hiked many times at John Bryan State Park and the adjoining Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve.  

John Bryan is considered to be one of the most scenic state parks in western Ohio. This park is dominated by a variety of majestic trees. Cottonwoods, Maples, Oaks, and Sycamores can be found here along the Little Miami River.

























My view from the footbridge above was spectacular.

Please note that dogs are only allowed, on a leash, at John Bryan State Park and can not enter the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve. 

Here's a video of images taken in the preserve.
