Weather.com calls for Sunny and Warm on Sunday so join us for a 4 mile hike about. (ok so sunny and warm is compared to the rest of the week-expect temperatures of 26 degrees and partly sunny, but its the best I can do)

Miami Whitewater is a beautiful Hamilton County park located near Harrison, OH. It is one of the county's largest and boasts many beautiful trails, both wooded and paved. We will be hitting the wooded ones this time since the ground should be nice and frozen which means NO MUD!!! We will do the Parcours, Oak Tree, and Badlands Trails. Each trail is a loop between 1.5-2 miles each which added together averages about 4 miles. You can do all three or exit at the end of any of the loops if you wish. Dogs are most welcomed, but please be aware Hamilton County Parks District is strict about the leash law. They generally do not do warnings like the city parks in lieu of a ticket. A parking permit is required to enter the park and there is usually an attendant on duty. Passes are $5 for the year or $2 for the day. (I consider it the best investment I make each year)

To get to the trails, when you enter the park from Hope Road, turn right at the first stop sign. When the road ends, take a left. You will see a large parking lot on your left about 1/2 mile down. Park there to begin hike.

If entering from other entrance, (not sure of street), just go straight until you see the parking lot. (the road ends at a ballfield and is looped so if you pass it, you will bring you back.

We can head to Cracker Barrel or El Marachi's in Harrison or go to one of the greasy spoons in Miamitown after for food after. There is also a free talk about wolves at 2pm at the Nature Center if anyone is interested in attending before going for food. I am quite interested if the group is.
