Went hiking....its easier walking down the stone steps than up. Great trails.....did not encounter too many people. Beautiful when the leaves change color in the Fall.

Nice small trail that is accessible from multiple roads that surround Mt. Airy Forest. Many folks were wearing masks or social distancing. I enjoyed my little walk here! Ive been told that it is a nice place to take your pets (dog) for a walk! Seems quite nice for a pup to run around unleashed (if allowed).

Love this place for hike. 4.2 miles for 2 hours is good exercise. Still spotty fall colors but it is very pretty.

Its a great place to take the kids for a day out of the house or go for a nature hike and explore the wildlife and foraging opportunities. There are wild persimmon and several mushroom species to find. Great place to just be outside!

Ive always loved Mt. Airy Forest. Its one of the citys many wonderful green spaces. I particularly enjoy the arboretum. Its quiet with two pathways that are perfect for short walks. There a nice floral areas that butterflies love. When the wind blows, you can hear a windchime tinkling.I shouldnt tell you these things because Ive always seen the arboretum as a quiet place that most people dont know about. Now you know

Filled with litter. Visitors dont clean up after themselves. Cars fly through cutting between colerain and shepherd creek. Paper plates, cigarello wrappers, plastic bottles, broken glass and other lovely leftovers make this park a sad sad place to go.

Trail i went was quite muddy and slippery after snow melt. Restroom is seasonal, not open all year. Probably dry day outside winter will bring better experiences.

The park is situated in a very beautiful hillside just northwest of downtown. The hiking trails are nice but poorly maintained. They offer options for varied length and difficulty. I was told there are MTB trails, but I didnt discover them on my first visit. The hilltop amenities are in relatively good condition (multiple gazebos and play areas).

This is one of the best places to come to walk, jog, run, or just to get out and breathe fresh air and appreciate nature. There are amazing hiking trails and is so peaceful at 6am.

Great park. Its has great trails. I personally loved it. Plenty of parking at least for Saturday afternoon. Well maintained and lots of sitting benches and grilling spots.

What a nice park! Walked about half the trails and really enjoyed ourselves. Even though the park was busy the trails are spread out enough that it was peaceful and made for good hiking.

Mt. Airy Forest is part of the Cincinnati Park District. Its a nice park with a few drawbacks, its not as clean as the Hamilton County Parks.In there parking areas there are not a lot of garbage containers. Not a lot of shady parking areas either. And also there restrooms are closed thru the end of 2020. Probably due to theCovid 19 pandemic.

Great dog park. My GSD loves the plastic pools, playing in the water and the wide open space to run.

The ponderosa trail is an Xtra special hiking/walking trail, as it is named after one of, if not the greatest, buffet restaurants of all time (also in the American buffet style restaurants hall of fame), located amongst the fine and luscious landscape that the Mt. Airy forest park has readily available for the general public to enjoy amongst their off days, family days, just amazing days with his/her spouse, and even holidays (to include federal and non-federal holidays, such as but not limited to veterans day! I would highly recommend this trail to anybody who wants an ecstatic, exciting, and emerging adventure!P.S. - Be sure to bring your Walkmans and beepers along with you, as you will need them if you are looking to make every four legged creature, being willingly excercised, talk and bark e.g. high pitch/low pitch (depending on the size and breed of ).

Large park to explore, a bike ride would be useful to cover entire park. Children would enjoy forest area, must visit for family members, would suggest to carry food.

Disc golf at the park is still posted as closed. I am hoping that changes soon as sunshine and vitamin D are important for the immune system.

This was my first time coming to this location. The view was beautiful, and the people danced as though no one was watching. It reminded me of Woodstock, without the smell of marijuana.Everyone was on one accord, the beat of the drums echoed throughout. As the depth and width of the forest allowed the acoustic sound to radiate the atmosphere . I saw glow in the dark hoola-hoops, batons, glow sticks, anything seemed arodicently colored, jam stones reading,sparkles, (used safely with adult supervision). Moreover; the energy exhubariated the sound of excitement. As everyone was on one accord together.

So many great things to do: hiking, disc golf, playgrounds, cookouts, and more. Makes it easy to get away from the world.

Review №65

The park is beautiful and has great facilities and trails, but you really have to be careful where you go in the park. We stopped to take a trail and noticed a lot of window glass in the parking area. As we were getting ready to take the trail we saw another car in another parking area a little bit up the road. The people in it seemed to be watching us. We went ahead and started the trail, but I just had a bad feeling. After going a few hundred yards I decided to go back to the car. As we came out of the woods the car we had seen up the road was pulled up behind ours. One of the people ( a woman) was walking around our car looking in the windows. When she saw us she dropped a rock she had in her hand, jumped in the car and the driver sped away. So stay near your car or park some place with a lot of people around, or risk being broken in to.

Ran the Stone Steps 27k here, and this area has a natural beauty to it. The trails are nice and surprisingly long for a park in Cincinnati, running these trails is hard though. I would consider this an advanced trail run. There is stones, roots and other obstacles that litter the paths (especially towards the Stone Steps). The Stone Steps themselves are yall and hard to walk, let alone run up.I strongly recommend this place, come see if its for you.

Our visit to the My. Airy/Doris Day dog park was much better than the last time. The grass had been mowed in the small dog area and not just the large dog area. You can tell that its maintained because even the bathrooms were clean as usual. Theres are shady areas on both sides for the humans. We love this park and always make a point of visiting when were in the area.

I love it because its nature... beautiful, enchanting (even when muddy), lusciously green and a mesmerizing place one could get lost in for hours, tucked in the city. Frisbee Disc Golf, Hiking, Bicycling, Walking, Bird Watching, you name it, its good for it. Ive mostly hiked many of the trails but plan on playing the Disc Golf course here in a few days. Come and have some fun!

Beautiful park, at least what is open! Road closures to traffic for deer hunting! Will it last all winter again?? We saw one. OMG! Now we see more coyotes than deer.
