It also includes fantastic Ohio River views as well as a long-ago abandoned stretch of Delhi Pike. ADDRESS: 6320-6468 Bender Road (45233) / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 8.7.2

Other than scenic river sightings, trail-goers may also stumble upon a creek bed with some shallow swimming holes, as well as the Darby Lee Cemetery—the resting place for some of Delhi’s earliest residents. Some of the graves date back over 150 years. / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 8.7.20

The trails are open to foot (and paw) traffic only, as dogs are permitted, but bikes, horses, and other motorized vehicles are not. Some sections of the trails can be quite challenging with steep slopes and uneven/rocky steps to climb. It’s also important to note that the trails get especially slippery after a rain. / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 8.7.20
