Tri State Guide to the Outdoors

Do you like to paddle, hike, bike, fish, camp or enjoy a picnic in your local park?

Then this “Tri-State Guide to the Outdoors” is for you. Download Guide (.pdf 3.7mb)

It’s our effort to promote the rich array of outdoor recreational opportunities available right here in Greater Cincinnati. Use it to plan your next paddling trip on the Ohio, Little Miami, Licking, Great Miami or the Whitewater. Or your next bike ride, family camp out, fishing trip or day hike.

Share it with you co-workers and invite them to join you. Or use it to give your kids a day off from TV, cell phones and texting. They will enjoy it more than they - or you - think!

That’s what Paddlefest is all about... taking the time to experience the natural world in our own back yard. To see a beaver or blue heron as you paddle the Ohio. To catch bass, blue gill or catfish in our many rivers, streams and lakes. To spend a day cycling, walking or running in one of our region’s award winning parks. To slow down or speed up. It’s your call!

We are grateful for our generous sponsors, advertisers, donors and volunteers who helped us produce this Guide and make our 9th Annual Ohio River Way Paddlefest the largest paddling event in the US. The funds we raise from Paddlefest will help us produce next year’s Kids Outdoor Adventure Expo, further develop the Ohio River Water Trail program and finish the final segment of the Ohio River Bike Trail (downtown Cincinnati to Newtown).

Thanks for your support and participation. Together we are making a difference for the Ohio, the health of our children, and the quality of life in our tri-state region.

With appreciation,

Brewster Rhoads

On behalf of the Ohio River Way Paddlefest Steering Committee
