Kroger Hills is a 217 acre nature preserve south of the Wooster Pike. There is old-growth forest, a restored prairie and 80 acres of grassland, and the Miami River flowing through it. There isn't any public parking or facilities, including bathrooms, available, and there aren't really any trails for cycling through the woods and grasslands, but you can ride on the outskirts of it along the Little Miami Scenic Trail and enjoy its beauty from there.

This section of the Little Miami Scenic Trail runs through the heart of the city of Loveland. This city is practically built around the bike trail, and all along this stretch you will find great places for food, beer, and outdoor music in the summer. Montgomery Cyclery is located just 50 feet off the trail, so if you need to have anything fixed this is your last stop for quite a while.
