There are also a number of rugged backcountry trails in Devou Park if you’re a more advanced or adventurous cyclist. Stop off at the Bar & Grill at Devou Golf Course or Bircus Brewing Company when you’re done for the day.

International Friendship Park

A riverside biking trail offers stunning views of the Ohio River in Cincinnati’s International Friendship Park. These trails, mostly flat, are ideal for beginners or cyclists with young children. As a beautifully designed park where intricate gardens are in bloom and sculptures are on display, International Friendship Park boasts one of Cincinnati’s most aesthetically pleasing and rejuvenating bike rides. The gardens were built to depict an intertwined friendship bracelet, representing global peace, diversity, and understanding.

There are plenty of spots to grab a bite close by, but you can also bring a picnic and eat right in the park. Nearby is the Every Child’s Playground at Sawyer Point, a great place to visit if you’ve got kids in tow.
