If you’re looking to get out of the house but you still want to maintain social distance, consider going for a long walk in nature. Whether you’re bike riding or hiking, a river view makes the journey that much more special. The Little Miami Scenic Trail in southwest Ohio is one of the most beautiful and underrated trails in the state.

This 73-mile long trail stretches across five counties in Ohio, so you can start in whichever county is closest to you.
