Shawnee Lookout Park
2008 Lawrenceburg Road
North Bend Ohio 45052
“Shawnee Lookout is well known for its historical Springhouse School and Native American archaeological earthworks. The park’s nature trails, including the 1.3-mile Blue Jacket, 2.0-mile Little Turtle and the 1.4-mile Miami Fort trail, offer spectacular views of the Ohio River and Great Miami River valleys. 4.3 miles of former golf cart paths are also open for everyone to bike, hike, roll or stroll. The park also features picnic areas, a playground and boat access to the Great Miami River.”
The barge and its crew passed by here on or near October 2, 1803, on their way to rendezvous with Meriwether Lewis at the landing below Big Bone Lick. Travelers here saw large gravel bars and a whirlpool below the entrance of the Miami River. The trails at Shawnee Lookout offer great views of that confluence.
