The Caesar Creek Gorge Trail is part of the huge Caesar Creek State Park.
Check out other posts on Caesar’s Creek State Park.
The gorge was formed by great volumes of glacial meltwater cutting down through the bedrock to expose Ordovician limestone and shale rich in fossils. The steep walls rise to 180 feet above the river. More than two miles of Caesar Creek flow through the gorge to the Little Miami State and National Scenic River. The stream and its banks support a wide variety of plant and animal life. Many of the aquatic insects and small fish found here, such as darters, indicate excellent water quality.
The preserve has heavily wooded hillsides with beech, maple, hickory and oak.
Where is it located? It is located at Township Hwy 229, Waynesville, OH 45068. Follow this link for Google Map directions.
