Narrow limestone gorge, rushing rapids, exposed rock ledges and riverside trails make John Bryan State Park ideal for intimate landscape and waterscape shots. Best at golden hour, after rain for higher flows, and in fall for foliage color. Trails are moderate with some steep sections; park at the Clifton Gorge lot. Check Ohio state park pass rules and aim for weekday mornings to avoid hikers. Close to Yellow Springs for lodging and supplies.
