The Narrows Reserve is a great place for launching your canoe, fishing and “roughing it” at our primitive campsite.
All campsites are primitive, but if you’re interested in dry RV camping (no water or electric hookups), call for help finding a spot.
Driving south on Factory Road in Beavercreek, you’ll run right into the entrance to Narrows Reserve. Once inside, you’ll find access to six hiking paths, a canoe launch, a picnic shelter, and primitive camping space.
Narrows Reserve is perfect for family adventures, hiking, canoeing, fishing, or just finding solitude and absorbing all that nature offers.
The Narrows Reserve lies alongside the National and State Scenic Little Miami River near the intersection of Indian Ripple Road and Factory Road in Beavercreek Township, just a few miles south of U.S. Route 35.
Great place to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Chose to walk the path along river to maximize shade as it was quite warm today. The paths vary in width with side paths to pass slower walkers. Enjoyed the nice shady path with sounds of nature. Have to keep mind that when one is out in nature, there will be roots sticking up, loose rocks and mud after rain so one does need to keep their footing in mind.
Great place to go in the early winter! Lots of foliage to learn about... Different types of foliage makes for a nature reserve environment that is botanical in nurture....
The Narrows is a nice spot with a beautiful path along the water. There’s a few options as far as trails. It hasn’t changed much over the past decade as I relied on my past experience here to navigate the River loop.
My only suggestion is the trails aren’t marked well/often. I helped a few people out because they couldn’t find their way to the parking lot. That made me realize I myself hadn’t seen many signs. Overall a lovely reserve that I would recommend to others!
I always like taking this trail. It meanders through the woods through a loop that sits on a hill. You walk along the river and can hear ducks and geese and see birds rummaging around in the leaves. Also rabbits and squirrels abound.
Due to all the snow melt today’s hike was extremely muddy. Absolutely worth it though.
