With the sparkling water in front of you and the city skyline in the background, this is a great place to stop and take in the view. It's especially great on calm, clear nights when the city lights reflect of the water.

The Olentangy River reaches 97 miles from Morrow County through Delaware County to Columbus, where it meets the Scioto at Confluence Park. Originally called "Keenhongsheconsepung," meaning "sharp tool river," settlers renamed it "Whetstone River" before a legislative mix-up in 1833 assigned it the name "Olentangy." The river serves as a drinking water source for Delaware County, while the Delaware State Park Reservoir is used for flood control. Restoration efforts, including dam removals, have reduced the river’s width and improved ecology.

The Olentangy River is known for the interesting shale formations along its shores. It was originally known by the native Delaware people of the area by the name of Keenhongsheconsepung, meaning "sharp tool river". The river is 97 miles long and is a tributary to the Scioto River.

Along the Scioto River Trail, visitors get views of the downtown Columbus skyline with the river in the foreground. Columbus is the nation's 14th largest city and this walking path provides some of the best views of its most well known buildings.
