a month agoAs always, this area is spectacular it’s so peaceful and beautiful. I’ve been able to hike this park during all four seasons and fall is by far my favorite. Clifton Gorge, State, Nature, preserve, and John Bryan State Park do not have any type of entry fee, but Glen Helen nature preserve does because it is private and so far I have hiked every trail on Glen, Helen, and every trail in John Bryan, except for the mountain bike trail, and I have hiked, every trail in Clifton Gorge. FINALLY—for any climbers They have specific Cliff climbing areas and anchor points along certain trails—usually on the upper rim trails. There are specific placards in place to mark the anchor areas(SEE PICS-Las couple)

2 months agoThis place is absolutely gorgeous and a relaxing slice of nature to just get away from town while still being close enough to explore yellow springs. The mill lit up for the holiday season is a tradition. My partner and I tried to go to every year and it never disappoints.
