There is a $10 admission fee unless you’re a member (your $10 entrance fee can be applied to a $45 yearly membership). If you become a member you receive 1 guest pass to get a friend in for free.

Trail markers are marked by pictorial symbols, so it’s good to be familiar with what trail equates to each picture.

If you stop on the run by a scenic building, you can check out a Mark Gilsdorf original sculpture he hand forged.

After the run recommendations:

Mt. Carmel Brewing Co is located in an old farmhouse with an outdoor pond. If you’re an early runner, be aware on weekends they don’t open until 11am. Located about 10 min from the nature center at 4362 Mt Carmel Tobasco Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45244

Sebastian’s Bakehouse is also an option!

Some of the paths include the Fernwood Trail and the Geology Trail

There’s definitely more to the park than trails. Be sure to check out the children’s playscape and events such as their plant sales!
