One of the best parts about living in my hometown as a parent is being able to experience my hometown now, as an adult, with my kids. In this case, Cincinnati is my home town, and as a kid, my adventures were generally limited to the immediate neighborhood, with the occasional outing to Riverfront Stadium (now Great American Ball Park – go Reds!) and the Cincinnati Zoo. As an adult and a mom of four and a travel writer, I’ve made it our mission to explore Cincinnati — and all of Ohio, really — to the fullest, and French Park is an off-the-beaten path gem we return to again and again. It’s a place many locals don’t know about; a hidden gem full of breathtaking scenery, a picture-perfect wedding venue… and some of the most relaxing hiking in Ohio, including the eponymous French Hike trail.
