Reviews
This park has no hiking trail or any path to explore. Simply place for unloading your boat and get into the water. I stopped by to explore but has 5 minutes of walking through bushes. That’s it.
Stopped for a break during a long drive. From Florida headed to Michigan.
River access for canoes, kayaks, and fishing. A quiet, tranquil spot along the Olentangy River.

Visited Sycamore Run Park during snowfall and it was stunningly beautiful, even wished for more snow! Had a great time playing by the river, discovering fish, and sadly, a long-gone deer. Enjoyed spotting ducklings and embarking on good hikes. I crossed rivers, found a bird nest, and even pretended to follow Bigfoot while playing with the ice. Captured loads of photos. The park offers ample parking, including accessible spots, and it’s a short walk from the parking to the river. While there’s a lack of formal seating, the park is well-maintained, perfect for a quick hike and nature enjoyment. Definitely planning a return visit. It’s a small park, but sometimes, that’s all you need if time is limited. A must-visit for nature lovers!
