Located 15 miles north of Dayton, Charleston Falls Preserve is a worth-it destination for its nature trails and 37′ waterfall. There are 3.7 miles of trails around this 216-acre preserve — a mix of prairie and forest. Most of the trails are fairly easy — wide, with a gravel surface. See this trail map to help plan your route there.
Longer Run: Connect to the Great Miami River Trail, 1 mile west, using Ross Rd. (Note: No Shoulder). We recommend heading south toward Taylorsville Park, which features 3 miles of the Miami River Trail and other trails.
