A peaceful riverside rail-trail with converted rail beds, river vistas, wooded corridors and occasional historic bridges — great for landscape, seasonal foliage and long-exposure waterscapes. Best at golden hour or blue hour for soft light on the Ohio River; autumn offers peak color. Trailheads in Coolville provide roadside parking; mostly flat and accessible on foot or bike. No permits required; expect hikers and cyclists on weekends. Bring insect repellent in summer.
