Two rivers flow through the county, the Great Miami River and the Stillwater River. Both offer a variety of water-based experiences such as canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and more. 

Ride along the Great Miami Recreational Trail, part of the nation’s largest paved trail network, with over 30 miles winding through Miami County. In addition to the paved trails, Miami County welcomes mountain and fat tire bike enthusiasts to the Troy Mountain Bike Area (TMBA). TMBA is located along the river at Duke Park and has approximately 8 miles of trails for beginners and experienced riders.

Spend a summer night in Troy on the Great Miami River in Ohio’s only public floating tent experience, Float Troy. These tents are inflatable, floating rafts with a topper, allowing you to sleep on the river. Your tent comes inflated, anchored and ready to use with a raft for transporting personal items and exploring the river around you. Click here to learn more.

See Miami County’s own “Miniature Niagara” at Charleston Falls Preserve. With over 216 acres of prairie and forest to explore, Charleston Falls is home to a 37-foot waterfall, a prime picture spot of the parks. Other highlights of Miami County Parks include the suspension bridge over the scenic Stillwater River connecting Maple Ridge and Stillwater Prairie Reserve, Lost Creek Reserve, the sculptures and walking trails at Hobart Urban Nature Preserve and more. Explore all of these parks here.
