Directions to Scioto Audubon Metro Park in Columbus, Ohio
The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department and Columbus Metro Parks have granted us a permit to provide kayak rides at Scioto Audubon Metro Park in Columbus, Ohio.
IMPORTANT - Directions and Parking (see maps below)
Please do NOT search for "Sunrise Kayaking" on your driving app or you will likely go to the wrong location. For directions, enter W Whittier St & S Front St, Columbus, OH 43206 in your driving app. When you arrive at that intersection, drive west on West Whittier St into the Scioto Audubon Metro Park. Park in the first parking lot you see on your right (next to the dog park). If that lot is full (unlikely), drive a little further down West Whittier St and park in the next lot on your right (next to the park office). After you park, walk down the road that is directly across from the park office. You should see the river on your right as you are walking down the hill. Please plan to park at least 10 minutes before your reservation starts to allow enough time to park and walk down the hill to our location.
Does the park have bathrooms? Shelters? Tables?
There is a bathroom in the park office, which is about a 5 minute walk from the boat ramp where are rides start and end (see below). See this map of the park for the location of the park office, additional bathrooms, shelters, and tables.
Advanced reservations are required
Reservations allow us to have the equipment ready for you when you arrive. Reservations also allow us to notify you if we need to cancel rides due to the weather, river conditions, etc. Book a reservation
