About Caesars Creek
Caesars Creek in Ohio offers a stretch of refreshing, cold water flowing through a scenic, riverine landscape. This primitive spot features a mile-long section of the creek beside the Little Miami River and is prized for its numerous natural swimming holes. The cool water and rugged surroundings provide a raw, immersive experience among the state's standout cold springs.
Getting There
Accessing Caesars Creek requires a moderate hike through peaceful trails, either from the parking area near Caesars Creek dam or from Corwin via the Miami Scenic Trail. Both routes take roughly 30 minutes on foot, with limited parking available, so plan accordingly for a short but rewarding trek to these inviting Ohio swimming holes.
What to Expect
You’ll find dozens of inviting swimming holes carved into the creek’s bed, perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. The atmosphere leans toward adventurous solitude—expect natural surroundings without built facilities or crowds, and a clothing-optional ambiance in certain areas. The cool, pure water creates a refreshing contrast with the lush greenery.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during summer when water temperatures make swimming enjoyable. Bring sturdy shoes for hiking, plenty of water, and a map or GPS to navigate the trails confidently. Since parking is limited and the area is fee-free, arrive early to secure a spot and respect the primitive environment by packing out what you bring in.
