Mount Airy Forest, Urban forest in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Mount Airy Forest spans 1,500 acres of land with hardwood trees, evergreens, wetlands, meadows, and a dedicated arboretum section within Cincinnati's park system.
Established in 1911, Mount Airy Forest represents the first urban reforestation project in the United States, transforming eroded farmland into a thriving natural space.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed numerous rustic structures throughout the forest during the 1930s, which remain standing and maintain historical recognition.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, a two-acre dog park, and various picnic areas throughout the forest grounds.
The forest features a wheelchair-accessible treehouse, constructed in 2006, making nature exploration possible for visitors of all physical abilities.
