This 3.5-mile urban trail from Old Red Bank Road at Ault Park to Xavier’s campus at Dana and Montgomery roads offers a scenic workout on foot, bike, rollerblade, skateboard, hoverboard, or whatever your chosen mode of transport.
Tram Tour of Spring Grove Cemetery
Spring Grove Cemetery has been the final resting place for influential Cincinnatians since 1845. The grounds are free and open to the public, but the thought of covering 733 acres on foot makes the tram tour an appealing alternative (four times each month May through August and three times each month in September and October). 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village
This treasure hides in plain sight in an industrial pocket of Sharonville between I-75 and I-275. Bring a shovel, bucket, and sunscreen and haul home any fossils you unearth at this free park. 11935 Tramway Dr., Sharonville
Behringer-Crawford Museum’s Outdoor Playscape
The three-story museum in Devou Park celebrating the region’s history also has an epic, handicap-accessible free playground filled with slides, steps, and all sorts of places for kids to explore. 1600 Montague Rd., Covington
The trail is 70 miles long and runs parallel to the Little Miami River, winding its way through some of the most scenic parts of Loveland, Milford, Miami Township, Newtown, and Lebanon. Nisbet Park in Loveland is a favorite for younger kids.
