Ohio's first National Scenic River and one of the finest Midwestern paddling corridors. The Little Miami flows 105 miles from its headwaters near Springfield through limestone gorges and forested bottomlands to the Ohio River near Cincinnati. The parallel Little Miami Scenic Trail (78 miles paved) makes bike-and-paddle trips easy.
