For viewing Ohio River waterfowl a scope would be helpful.

This section of Eden Park offers a commanding view of the Ohio River and has its own parking area for quick birding stops. Opposite the river from the parking spaces are two small ponds and paved paths in the treed lawn.

Home to the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and the Krohn Conservatory, Eden Park is one of the most popular Cincinnati Parks. Landmarks within the park include Hinkle Magnolia Garden, which features a picturesque gazebo, memorial tree groves and paths, Mirror Lake, and the Bettman Fountain.

The Overlook Pond hotspot, also known as Twin Lakes, once an old quarry, features two lakes, a footbridge, and walking paths, an impressive view of the Ohio River and Kentucky, several sculptures, and a playground. It’s a great spot for chess or launching model boats. Nearby is a 172-foot high Water Tower from 1894 and is now used by the City of Cincinnati as a communications facility.
