How it Works
Book a timeslot, and then meet us at Bicentennial Park for your paddle trip! Leisurely paddle ~1 mile up river and back along the beautiful city skyline and Scioto Mile park corridor. All equipment is provided: kayak/paddleboard, paddle, & life vest. Beginners welcome!
Location
In downtown Columbus on the Scioto Mile. The meeting location is Bicentennial Park (233 S. Civic Center Drive). We are located on the grass lawn right along the river and the bike path. It is on the east side of the Scioto River, between Main Street and Rich Street. Look for a small blue tent near the stone boat launch ramp.
The paddle route starts at Bicentennial Park and travels approximately 1 mile up river (to about North Bank Park) and then back to the start.
