    One night, as I was walking home from the hospital when they repaired my hand, I met some interesting festival-goers who were sitting in the woods. Due to the significant loss of blood that I experienced on my way to the Wexner Hospital, I traveled east instead of west. These people helped me find the right way back to my apartment. What a great group of people you'll meet on the Olentangy Trail!

    Love walking my dog daily on the trail. Some days there are lots of joggers and bikes, but most are courteous when passing. Beautiful flowers, nature, often see deer.

    One of my favorite trails! If you’re looking for a long bike ride/jog, it is an excellent trail to start from the top and take it down to the Mile trail. It’s well kept and you have a great view of nature and the River. 5/5!

    "If we were from out of town, we would think this was awesome!" Beautiful trail, scenic river, good pavement, good signage. It does get a lot of traffic, so pay attention, signal when passing.

    Whenever I have a chance to get to Columbus, The Olentangy Trail is a must for me. There is nothing better in the morning than to get out and enjoy some of Mother Nature's best on the banks of The Olentangy River! Whether you're in town for a game at The Horseshoe or whatever may brings you to Columbus, I highly recommend you take a stroll/run or ride along The Olentangy Trail.

    I love the olentangy trail. It's great for running walking or biking and it has great green spaces to enjoy even while in columbus. It also creates a great path to navigate different parts of Columbus as a student or if you just want a nice walk from one end of Columbus to the other. It's a great and easy way to get outdoors in Columbus

    Beautiful, scenic trail following Olentangy river. It’s always packed, making it hard to bicycle on. Antrim park is especially congested

    I love this trail and seeing all the humans utilizing it for a work out, leisure or for travel. It’s a nice escape from the city and in some places on the trail, you don’t even feel like you’re in a city. I hope everyone continues to respect it by leaving no trace and stay out of the flowers/prairies .Cheers.

    This is a very busy trail from Whetstone Park through Antrim Park and beyond - but if you don’t mind the crowds it has some lovely features including pedestrian bridges, forested passages, and an always sunny outlet at Antrim Lake. For a less busy trail and less next-to-the-highway experience try the Alum Creek Trail.

    Great for biking, scenic views, however, not for biking kids. You will find lots of people racing and trying to pass you which does not feel safe at all and is not worth the adventure.

    An excellent scenic trail along the river for walking, running, and biking near the OSU campus. Paved and in great shape. I wish my town had a trail like this!
