Ohio River Walk

Most evenings I enjoy walking along the Ohio River, and I thought it would be fun to share the route and see if others would like to join.

Route: 5.7 miles
We start from the Kentucky side and head directly toward the Ohio side.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the route so you can get a better idea.

Highlights along the way:

1. Cincinnati skyline from the Kentucky side
2. Walk across the Roebling Bridge
3. Historic District in Covington
4. Murals near Covington Plaza
5. Smale Park
6. American Queen Paddle Wheel
7. Sawyer Point Park & Yeatman’s Cove
8. All 11 sections of Friendship Park
9. Purple People Bridge (we’ll see it but won’t walk across it)
10. Statue of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus
11. Crystalline Tower (the turnaround point in Friendship Park before heading back to Covington Yard)

Pace:
We’ll aim for about 3.3 miles/hour, but we can adjust based on the group’s comfort.

Parking:
There is plenty of parking opposite Covington Yard, so finding a spot should be easy. If you have trouble, feel free to reach out.

Weather:
If the weather is poor, I will cancel the event.

Timing:
If you’re running late, please message me and I’ll wait for a short time.

Note:
This is a flat walk, so please choose comfortable walking shoes.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you all!
