Confirmed from Scioto Grove Metro Park Upper Canoe Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Scioto Grove Metro Park Upper Canoe Access
Although I didn't go canoeing or kayaking, this is a great place to start hiking the River Trail and take the trail south.
Great place to walk with your dog in relative shade but the river. I have seen ppl putting in there kayaks and there is a good place to get it and a turn around if you want to take your car down to the put in. It's nice in cool on hot summer days, no bathroom at the put in.
A great place to put in or take out. Plenty of parking. If the gate is shut. There is a bit of a hike from the lot to the river. From the Greenlawn dam to Scioto Grove you can get a nice 61/2 mile paddle in.
Great place for nature walking and bird viewing. Wide, we'll kept trails, picnic areas and fishing spots. Come early April to see the Blue Bells bloom
