CLOSURE ALERTS
The Nature Center is closed to the public.
Parking in the grass and along the roadways is prohibited. All cars MUST be in an established parking spot only.
Narrows Reserve is beautiful. Calming and exciting, refreshing and familiar all at the same time.
There are close to six miles of trails that wind along the Little Miami River and through woods and meadow. You can launch your canoes and kayaks for a refreshing and beautiful trip on the water. You can also meet, talk to, and learn about the many raptors indigenous to our area at the Raptor Aviary.
With special thanks to the Greene County Beekeepers Association, you can watch and learn how to care for and harvest honey from their apiary.
Beehives!

Canoeing and camping!
The Narrows Reserve is a great place for launching your canoe, fishing and “roughing it” at our primitive campsite.
