Dogwood Trail
As I spend most of each summer at Cowan Lake State Park, I have become very familar with each of its trails. One of my favorites is the dogwood trail. I always enjoy a somewhat scenic hike and then reach the fields of blackberries. I can typically find 30 to 40 ripened blackberries on each bush and I enjoy my findings very much. It is great trail whether you eenjoy blackberries or not....

Cowan Lake
It is not impossible for water mocassins to be in a lake. Where do you think they get there name from? They are not land mocassins....I camp at cowan as often as I can. Not too much luck with the fish but really nice park....I had camped at Cowan lake back in the early 70's and was told there were Water Mocassins in Cowan Lake but have been told that is impossible, is it?...

Spring Valley Frontier Campground
17 miles away
This is a very nice and friendly campground. The owner went out of her way to make sure our camping experience was pleasant. The bike is easy to access....

Olive Branch Campground
19 miles away
Wow! This is by far the cleanest and most family friendly campground I have ever been to. There was ONE bug in the bathroom. The showers were obviously cleaned more than once a day. There are short trails to hike on site. There is also a camp store that is well stocked and reaswonably priced. One other major attraction is that it is less than a mile from Interstate 71 and only three exits from King's Island. There are tons of other fun activities close by such as canoeing, horseback riding and SHOPPING. Kudos to the owners on running a wonderful campground. ...

Caesar Creek
20 miles away
Caesar creek is at most class 2. I work as a river guide in Tennessee and West Virgina, and Caesar's a pretty run lots of history with the shawnee....This can be run only when the USGS gauge is 7' or more, or when the ouflow from the dam is about 400 cfs....there are wave trains of approximately 2 feet in height. it is overall just a fun long set rapids for 3 miles...

Little Miami River

Hall's Creek
25 miles away

A few fellow snowboarders and I work and board at Paoli Peaks but unfortunately, we've been hit with warm wind and bad weather. We were dying get back to work and snowboard but it didn't happen.
