Wildflower Walk at Bender Mountain

Sunday, April 19th, 2026
to (Eastern Time)
Western Wildlife Corridor Bender Mountain Nature Preserve, 6320-6468 Bender Rd, Cincinnati, OH, 45233 Map

Public Welcome Free Event Nature Walk/Hike Lots of Physical Activity

Meet members of Cincinnati Wild Ones and Western Wildlife Corridor for our annual hike  to view some of the most diverse and  beautiful display of wildflowers in Hamilton County.  Members may choose to walk all or part of the trail. Many wildflowers can be viewed without going too far along the trail. This loop trail starts at the gravel parking lot off Bender Road.  The trail winds through a shaded mature forest to the  hillside above the Ohio River. It is rich in wildflowers thanks to the invasive removal effort of WWC . Be prepared for rocky sections, steep parts, and exposed tree roots that can become slippery when wet—sturdy footwear is recommended, walking sticks offer more stability and please bring water. It’s been described as the “best place in Hamilton County to observe native wildflowers” by Dr. Denis Conover, botanist with the University of Cincinnati. The trails are well-maintained, have Trail markers (signposts), and feature four benches.
