Free Kayak Days

Get out on the water this summer with a complimentary kayaking experience on the Scioto River. This is a great opportunity for families to explore Columbus's waterway and take in the scenery from a different perspective. The kayaks launch from the boat ramp located beneath the Main Street bridge, near Bicentennial Park. Since this event tends to draw a crowd, spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is a smart idea. The event is organized in collaboration with Downtown Columbus, Inc., who can provide the latest details and any updates through their social media pages. Whether your family enjoys outdoor adventures or is looking for an affordable summer outing, this free paddling activity offers something accessible for many skill levels. Be sure to check the organizers' Facebook and Instagram accounts before heading out to confirm any final information.
