Indian Mound Reserve in Cedarville, Ohio is one of the most scenic, little-known places to hike in the state. With fairly easy trails and lots to see, it’s a great place to explore with the whole family.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

You'll find this beautiful park along U.S. 42 in Cedarville, Ohio.
Although the park is divided into eight different trails, we recommended taking the Gorge Trail and Rim Trail, which covers about 3 miles total, one-way.

There's much to see in this beautiful park and taking these two connecting trails ensures that you see it all.

You can climb the mound via the stairway and observe the surrounding area from the top of the mound.
Along the Rim Trail, you'll find Cedar Cliff Falls, which features a wonderful boardwalk that let's you see the falls up close from different angles.

Note: AllTrails rates both the Gorge Trail and Rim Trail as easy, so you can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.
In the springtime, the falls are framed by colorful wildflowers that make the view unbelievably picturesque.
