  • Great Parks Hunt

    Great Parks Hunt

    This year, the regional Great Outdoor Weekend event is Great Outdoor Week, and they are letting you create your own outside adventure with a photo!
    They will be posting photo hints on their Instagram of secret locations all across Great Parks of Hamilton County. Teams of four or fewer will earn points for posting selfies at the secret locations with the hashtag #greatparkshunt. Prizes will be awarded to teams who accrue 25 points or more. The hunt begins Sept. 19 and goes through Sept. 27.

    Lake Isabella

    Lake Isabella is a quiet 76-acre lake that packs a big bite when it comes to fishing for feisty catfish.

    Enjoy a 28-acre pay lake that is stocked weekly March through October and offers fishing from the bank, dock or rental boat. Electric trolling motors are permitted. Personal watercraft, such as canoes and kayaks, are not permitted on the lake. Lake Isabella also has a full-service boathouse and reservable Chart Room, Riverside Lodge and Shady Elm Shelter for group outings. The park offers picnic areas, a playground and access to the Little Miami River.

    Miami Township has removed the rims at park playground basketball courts after witnessing people who were not social distancing.

    BASKETBALL COURTS CLOSED

    We are now physically removing all rims from the basketball courts at our four parks. The courts are now closed to all. Thank you for your cooperation.

    This also means they’re not available for the examples we saw this week: a father and daughter using one; a mother and son and a couple of siblings shooting together.

    Although this was suggested by the Governor (not ordered), we had hopes park goers would act responsibly so families, and individuals, would have a place to go to get fresh air & physical activity.
