Crains Run Nature Park

Beautiful bend of the Great Miami River. The bike path runs through it. A great place to stop for a picnic lunch on one of the many benches with a great view surrounded by grass and mature trees.

I was out and happened upon Crain's Run Nature Park. There is plenty of parking, clean porta-potties, paved trails, playgrounds and right on the water! Get out and enjoy some fresh air. Nature is calling.

If your going to go fishing here during the summer, it has to be during the early morning hours or after 8pm. Any other time your just sitting baking in the sun. I've caught some bluegill, bass, and sunfish here. Thr lake is decently sized. They have trails to walk on and a park and shelters for family events. Nice nature spot right outside middletown.

Beautiful park. Connects with the bike trail that follows the river. Good 30 mile scenic ride to Xenia OH. This park has fishing access, leisure lounging and picnic area.

Absolutely a treasure to find. Lovely place. We have to spend a couple months in the area for a kidney transplant and what a delight finding this place so close by to the house we're hoping to rent & The Franklin Church on river street is only a few more blocks down!. The whole area is blessed by God! We seen the most wholesome healthy activities going on! Boys & Girls troops gathering! Families strolling! Fishing! Joyful everlasting smiles all around.
So yeah. Nice place........
