Confirmed from Devou Park Hiking/Biking Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Climbing and hiking trails and mountain-biking paths that offer downhill jumps, challenging hills and city views.
What runners say about Devou Park Hiking/Biking Trailhead
I've been hiking here for over four years and leading hikes here. It's a great place!
Great parking lot and access to miles of wonderful trails. If Youre a a beginner or new to trail riding I recommend the sleepy hollow side . smoother and less intense climbs. Incinerator trail jacks your heart rate up immediately so you better be ready!
The trail head could use some work and the signage at the top of the Incinerator could really use a map or better direction signage. The benches are a welcome site when you finish the climb. Where the back bowl splits off could use a sign too.
Best mountain biking within a 2-3 hour drive of Cincinnati. Well marked trails, with levels of difficulty indicated. Well maintained, check out the Cora website for trail conditions.
Trail conditions & character
“Great trails for tech climbs and decents, flowy downhill, jump lines, lots of elevation.”
“There are some nice views of the river from the trails and they are well made and maintained.”
