Scioto Mile Promenade

The Scioto Mile Promenade in Columbus is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves beautiful cityscapes blended with nature. Stretching along the Scioto River, it’s a perfect spot for a peaceful walk, a fun outing with friends, or just to take in the views. The paths are wide and clean, with plenty of benches and shaded spots to sit, relax, and enjoy a picnic. You get some of the best views of the downtown skyline, especially at sunset – it’s absolutely stunning! One of the highlights is the fountains, which are amazing in summer. Kids (and adults!) love running through them, and it adds such a lively, joyful atmosphere. There are also plenty of spots to snap photos, and the landscaping is always well-maintained and vibrant. Plus, if you’re into biking or running, the trails here are smooth and ideal for both. Whether you're a Columbus local or a visitor, the Scioto Mile Promenade offers something for everyone. It’s peaceful yet lively, offering a perfect way to enjoy Columbus’s beauty and riverfront charm. I highly recommend spending some time here – it’s a great escape right in the heart of the city!

The walk was very comfortable. Unfortunately there was nothing much happening at around 1 PM in the afternoon.

I love this area at anytime of year, there’s something for everyone in the area! The beautiful fall colors are fantastic this year! There’s plenty to do in the area from eating and drinking to entertainment. It’s fun to find all the little statues around here also. If you’re looking for a place to walk in this area, I highly recommend the mile!

I love it! Down here is great. I like to swings. I like the little walk the little shaded areas you can sit in and just relax and get your mind right. Plenty of swings. They added nice little greenery and garden type stuff they have down here now. If you get down here early it's great you can get down here late. It's great

I wish there was more direction on where to start, park, and end for the trails. But it was beautiful just hard to navigate as our first time here!! But if u love walking and seeing beautiful views then you will love this
