Little Miami River

A State and National Scenic River - for Very Good Reason

The Little Miami State and National Scenic River is a remarkable stream that offers some of the most beautiful areas for outdoor recreation in the state of Ohio. Plus, it's easily accessible to a large portion of the population of the state - Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and Columbus all enjoy easy access to the banks of the Little Miami.

The Little Miami changes dramatically in its character along it's 105.5 mile course. The Little Miami drains a nearly 1800 square mile portion of central and southeastern Ohio.

The Little Miami was formed by the meltwater of the glaciers thousands of years ago. You can see the dramatic force of that meltwater in places like Clifton Gorge with it's steep narrow canyon and boiling whitewater - decidedly NOT kayakable, but extrordinarily beautiful.

Farther south near RiversEdge Outfitters, the river is generally placid and easily navigable by kayak. Along our section of the river, you'll find deeply wooded banks that transport you back to times past when the area was still wilderness.

You'll also find plenty of places along the river where you can stop for a picnic - or just enjoy the solitude.

If you're new to kayaking, the Little Miami is the perfect place to get started. If you're a more advanced kayaker- used to whitewater rivers like the New or the Snake - the Little Miami offers an entirely different experience, an experience of what our Midwestern rivers must have been like ages ago.

Either way, we hope you'll treat yourself to a day of kayaking on the Little Miami River. Why not call us right now to make reservations?
