    This is a gem of a nature preserve. I have been here every time I visit the Dayton/Springfield area, which has been many, many times over the years. It never disappoints, never loses its charm, never loses its ability to engage my interest.
    This is not a manicured park. The paths are often rough, interrupted by tree roots and rocks, sometimes going up or down. There are two ways in: one via a very long set of stone steps (without railing) and one via a winding path. Both go down into the gorge.
    Over the decades I have been visiting Glen Helen changes have been made. It is gratifying to see that these changes have been without negatively impacting the integrity of the environment.
    One of the additions, and I have no idea when it was created, is the wooden walkway through the wetland/marsh area. If you walk quietly and pay attention to the water & the plant life on either side you can see fish, frogs, and a multitude of flyers in the dragonfly family.
    In the woods you may see deer and woodpeckers.
    There are a number of waterfalls, the most notable are from the springs that tint the rocks yellow-orange.
    This is a woodland you can visit over and over again, choosing a short walk or spending hours.
    There is a fee to park.

    It was our first visit to the Gorge, and we really enjoyed the hike. The trail was well taken care of, and it was nice to have an indoor center for education and facilities break. Hikers can take the Gorge and the Rim trail to get it from different perspectives. Clifton Mills is close by for food and shopping. We will make another visit in the future.

    A previous review says the goats are gone, not sure where they were the day that they were there but there were lots of goats. We fed the goats and petted them, also visited with some of the Jersey cows. We even saw the cows in the barn waiting to be milked. We had cheese curds and ice cream. The service was fast and friendly. It was cold and icky outside so we did not partake of any other activities, but would like to come back on a warm day for those.

    Easy access. Short distance from Yellow Springs. Trails that connect to Clifton Gorge. Next time we will explore it more.

    Great place to check out and if you get a chance chat it up with Tuck. Extremely knowledgeable about his craft and he really is a down to earth gentleman. Excellent selection of spirits and wine. I recommend the dandelion wine.

    The gallery includes only local artisans. The art was a wide range of items, all beautiful and affordable. Woodworking to painting to fabric.

    This is right over the Little Miami Trail going between Xenia and Yellow Springs. Well preserved. Good photo ops.

    While visiting my daughter in Beavercreek, we stopped by Yellow Springs to shop. I'd seen several reviews about this brewery and wanted to check it out. Personally, I am not a "real" beer drinker and often find it hard to find something I enjoy when visiting a brewery. Thankfully, this location had two selections that were outstanding - Captain Stardust and Bear Tamer. Both were crisp, light and had a citrus flare.. delicious!

    We visited during their spring series to see JAWS. We can’t wait to return to this comfortable, clean and intimate theater. The staff at concessions were so helpful and enthusiastic. I appreciate the extensive menu including alcoholic beverages, commitment to the environment with reusable drink ware and inclusive all gender restrooms. Consider supporting this 501 (c)(3) on your next date night. “You’re not going to need a bigger…theater.”
