It is a very short trail, but when you need a quick blast of nature and isolation this is a good place. I had the trail entirely to myself. It is a goofy location behind a police station

Interesting trail in Columbus. You can hear the roar of OH-315, but you can't see it. Trailhead is behind the Columbus Police Northwest Substation. Park in their parking lot behind the station.

DO NOT PARK BEHIND POLICE STATION AT THE TRAILHEAD as other users have indicated. I did and when I left the trail multiple police officers approached me and said it was criminal trespassing and they could put me in jail for 10 consecutive days. Luckily they let me go but they were very clear they were doing me a favor. Otherwise it’s honestly not worth it. If you explore every inch its 0.6 miles and astheically it’s the same as Antrim if you take the back paths.

This is a quiet and easy one mile loop nature trail that is located behind a Columbus Police substation. There aren't any amenities.
