Two parks, one beautiful local adventure. 💙

Maple Ridge Reserve and Stillwater Prairie Reserve in Covington are connected by a suspension bridge over the Stillwater River, making this such a fun place to spend an afternoon exploring.

Between the ponds, wooded trails, river views, and peaceful scenery, this is one of those Upper Miami Valley spots that’s easy to overlook if you don’t know it’s there.

And if you visit Maple Ridge now, make a note to come back during maple sugaring season to see the Sugar House in action!

Have you explored either of these Covington parks yet?
