FIELD TRIP - Shawnee Lookout

Shawnee Lookout

Well known for it’s history and heritage, this 2,000 acre park provides nature trails with breathtaking views at the confluence of the Great Miami and Ohio Rivers. Migration corridors converge here as fall colors light up the upland forests. Operated by Great Parks of Hamilton County, this park also features the historic Springhouse School and Log Cabin and Native American archeological earthworks. Tom Borgman, recently retired Great Parks naturalist, will lead our exploration.
