The Scioto Trail offers a riverfront introduction to Columbus

Columbus Recreation and Parks describes the downtown Scioto Trail as the city’s first greenway trail. The section from North Bank Park to Bicentennial Park forms the connecting route through the Scioto Mile.

Choose a starting park and a manageable out-and-back or connecting route before leaving home. The riverfront setting can work for a short walk as well as a longer outing, but facility availability and route conditions should be checked separately. Use the official trail information and current notices rather than an older event map.

Save the source link and review any notices for your chosen date. If a particular facility, accessible route or reserved space is essential to your visit, confirm it with the responsible organization. A little preparation helps turn a promising idea into an outing that works for your group.
