The Scioto River Canoe Launch at Lower Scioto Park offers a convenient boat ramp with ample free parking, including extra-large spaces for trailers, allowing easy vehicle-to-water access for paddlers.

Located just south of downtown Columbus near Scioto Audubon Park, this launch provides access to a scenic, gentle stretch of the Scioto River ideal for kayaking and canoeing, with northbound paddling opportunities toward the downtown Scioto Mile before encountering a lowhead dam.
