The Southwest Ohio Road Trip That Leads Explorers To Tubing And Tacos
Explore a perfect day trip in Ohio with tubing on the Little Miami River and enjoying tacos at Mazunte Taqueria.
I love a good road trip for the fantastic memories it creates while exploring new places. Ohio has incredible spots to discover, yet we sometimes don't explore our own state enough. Tubing trips in Ohio are also a great option, offering both adventure and relaxation. Embark on a road trip to Little Miami Canoe Rentals in Oregonia for one of Ohio's best lazy rivers, then visit Mazunte Taqueria in Cincinnati for delicious tacos.
The drive from Little Miami River Canoe Rental in Oregonia to Mazunte Taqueria in Cincinnati spans 29 to 31 miles and takes approximately 30-44 minutes one way (potentially longer in traffic). Use Google Maps to plan your preferred route.
Enjoy a day of tubing followed by tacos, guac, and margaritas—it's the perfect day trip no matter where you reside in Ohio. Prepare for one of the best day trips the state has to offer.
Gas up the car and head out to the first stop on this road trip adventure, Little Miami Canoe Rental in Oregonia. The scenic Little Miami River is a tributary of the Ohio River that flows through five counties in southwest Ohio and it's one of the most ideal lazy rivers in Ohio for a relaxing tube ride.
Although Little Miami Canoe Rental has two locations along the river, Oregonia is the place where tubing is offered. You can reserve your spot ahead of time, which includes a tube, life jacket, paddle, transportation to and from the river, and peaceful scenic views along a two-mile stretch of river.
They also require a cash deposit before you head out onto the river. Once you bring back all the borrowed equipment, it will be returned.
Tubing is the ideal activity if you are in the mood to relax and let your cares float away as you effortlessly float downstream. Relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery of the river, forest, and hills as you pass by.
Floating along the Little Miami River is a fantastic way to cool off during the hot summer and offers a great activity for families. Kids will enjoy floating down the river as much as adults. But if you want more than a relaxing ride, canoes, and kayaks are also available to rent through Little Miami Canoe Rental.
Since hours of operation are dependent upon weather and the season, it's best to call ahead before your trip. For prices and hours, visit the official website of Little Miami Canoe Rental, and for more information and updates, visit the Facebook Page of Little Miami Canoe Rental.
After a few hours of effortless relaxation along the Little Miami River, it's taco time! Our second location, Mazunte Taqueria in Cincinnati, is where you can order authentic street tacos made with the freshest ingredients. Each bite is an adventure for your taste buds.
All toppings are prepared daily using fresh produce that will ensure flavorful tacos that are delicious with every bite.
The menu isn't huge, but there are enough options to try, from pork to chicken, steak, and fish. If you don't eat meat, there are veggie tacos made with sauteed mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, pickled red onion, pico de gallo, avocado salsa, black bean puree, and goat cheese.
Each order comes with three street tacos, which are both delicious and filling. You can have all three of the same or get the mixed option with three different tacos of your choice. Order some guac, queso, and a margarita to make your meal complete. Everything is fresh and delicious here at Mazunte Taqueria.
Mazunte has other locations in the area, so feel free to check the Mazunte Taqueria website to find one that may be more convenient for you. And follow the Facebook page of Mazunte Taqueria for any updates.
