The gnomes are once again hiding at one of their favorite spots - the Ohio River Islands Wildlife Refuge!

There are multiple family friendly trail options from .1 miles to 2 miles. A small paved trail that is handicap accessible and is also perfect for small children or those just looking for a quick leisure stroll. An upland trail taking you through some elevation and winding trails through the woods. And a trail near the river that snakes through different local flora. Or combine all the trails for close to 2 miles of fun. Along these trails you're bound to see all kinds of local wildlife flora. Be sure to keep an eye out for gnomes as well! The hike is self-guided, but leaders will be on-site to provide information and trail maps are on-site and trails are marked.

Also at this location is the headquarters for the Ohio River Islands Wildlife Refuge. Multiple exhibits are located inside including mussels, local fish, birdlife, and flora. Refugee HQ hours are M-Sat 8:00am - 4:30pm (note the refuge will not be open to visitors for the Sunday @ 1PM hike only the trails will be available).

Note: Please arrive a few minutes early to check in with hike leaders."
