Step into the Forest: Devou Park & Covington

  • Geobel Park 501 Philadelphia Street Covington, KY, 41011 United States (map)

Join us as we explore the connectivity between Covington’s neighborhoods and its lush green spaces. We’ll start at the Clock Tower in Goebel Park promptly at 10 am. During our hike, we’ll climb up to Devou, venture through historic enclaves, wander mid-century hillside subdivisions, and stroll along urban streets flourishing with redevelopment.

We will end our hike one block away from our trailhead for refreshments at The Standard (434 Main St, Covington, KY 41011).
