Twin Arch Reserve, Troy

About Twin Arch Reserve

Twin Arch Reserve spans thirty-five acres along the Great Miami River in Troy, Ohio, offering hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. The park's centerpiece is the renovated Twin Arches, historic stone culverts built in 1837 as part of the Miami-Erie Canal extension. These arches represent one of only two structures of their kind remaining in Ohio. The reserve features nearly one mile of nature trails winding through the park and past a Natural Play Area where children can explore wooded spaces. A five-acre pond provides catch-and-release fishing access without requiring a state license, while the Great Miami River offers additional fishing opportunities for licensed anglers. Visitors can observe wildlife throughout the grounds and access the river for paddling activities. The combination of historical structures, recreational facilities, and natural habitat makes Twin Arch Reserve suitable for families interested in outdoor recreation and canal history.
