   They have a large complex with one building housing a grocery with a small cafe serving awesome and fresh sandwiches. Another building has the bakery with wonderful fresh-baked treats. Finally, they have a large building for furniture. This makes a nice short trip for those living in Cincinnati. See more..

   The first week of August is beautiful at Chaparral Prairie. An amazing display of blazing star and an abundance of pollinators drawn to the blazing star. Wide mowed paths provide access to multiple fields of blazing star. See more..

   This is a really cool little museum of everything and anything about funeral services and practices-with some quirky oddities as well! Very informative and interesting - call ahead to make an appointment to visit! Well worth a stop, and you'll need about 1.5 hours. Enjoy! See more..
   
5. 4.5 The Edge of Appalachia Preserve System (14 reviews)
   - Great Way to Spend an Afternoon
   Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   We hiked to 4.4 mile Buzzardroost Rock Trail and the 1.3 mile Lynx Prairie Preserve trail. The parking lots are only .5-1 mile from one another so it is very easy to visit both locations in the same day. The terrain was very well maintained and the scenery was quite pleasantly varied. Although one could make the hike in athletic shoes the trail is rocky and rooty so hiking boots would be recommended. Shout out to the Nature Conservancy and the Cincinnati Museum Center for organizing such dedicated volunteers for the trail maintenance and general maintenance for the parking areas. If you are in the West Union area and looking for outdoor activities we highly recommend visiting these locations. It was a beautiful drive from Cincinnati-we took Route 52 on way there and Route 32 on way home. See more..
   
6. 4.0 Adams Lake State Park (3 reviews)
   - Don't Miss the Nature Preserve!
   State Parks • Bodies of Water
   
   
   Mid to late July is a wonderful time to visit Adams Lake State Park. The American lotus water lily is just beginning to bloom on the lake. Don't miss the bloom riot in the nature preserve attached to the state park. Rattlesnake master, blazing star, several types of sunflowers and other yellow composites all in full bloom. Many butterflies attracted to the blazing star. A short, easy walk to a wonderful wildflower garden. See more..
