Parks & Nature
You can see Armleder Park from our second floor deck-
just down the hill, but a tricky drive. Armleder has bike/hike trails that go to the Little Miami River, and connect with the Lunken bike trail. We like to sit and read (or wade) by the Little Miami, and we have also canoed from there.
