There are plenty of great hiking spots in Kentucky, but as far as finding a sense of solitude and peacefulness, few are able to compete with The Backcountry Trails at Devou Park. Devou is the crown jewel of Covington, Kentucky, and this little-known trail is the perfect place to escape into nature in a private and relaxing way.
You'll begin and end your journey at this trailhead. On the other side of this trail, you will see one of the most beautiful view of the Cincinnati skyline imaginable.
For more details, you can refer to this full map of the Backcountry Trails at Devou Park.
Whether you are looking for an easygoing walk or an engaging bike route, the Backcountry Trails at Devou Park are sure to do the job. If you are interested in biking, you can choose the mountainbiking route on the trail, or take the paved road just beside the nature trail.
One of the elements that adds a great deal to the trail is the architecture. Special pieces like this stone bridge give you an added sense of fun along your path.
Another excellent piece of the trail is this wooden gate. The Covington Park Society has spared no expense to make this trail particularly special and engaging.
Take your time as you go and you will be able to take in the wonderful nature surroundings highlighted by flowers such as the ones pictured here.
This trail has been a great resource of peace and calm for me personally. Whenever I am in need of a walk to clear my head, it is the first place I plan to be.
