Description

Added by Bernadette John

This trail is situated between multiple neighborhoods, making it quite close to home. Despite its proximity to so many neighborhoods, the trail is often quite deserted.

This trail begins at a dog park and meanders alongside farm fields and creeks. Stay to the right at the first fork to begin the Mudsock Trail. The second fork in the trail results in a loop that meets up with itself and continues on. Depending on the amount of plant growth/season, there is a trail that cuts from one side of the loop to the other. This trail crosses Roberts Road and there are crosswalk markers with flashing lights to help get you safely across. This trail connects the Spindler Dog Park to Frank's Park.

Nice crushed, packed gravel trail. Wide enough to pass people, and pet friendly. The dog park at the beginning was a good highlight for my wife and I, we spent several minutes at the fence watching a dozen dogs playing.

A great evening getaway while in Columbus, Hayden Run Falls is easy to access. The path to the falls is a well-maintained boardwalk above the floodplain of the Scioto River, just a little over a 0.1 mile in length. The boardwalk takes you right up to the very foot of the 35 foot tall waterfall, and on most days the spray from the falls coats the deck (and you if you get too close!)There is also...
