The Lower Olentangy Boat Launch, located at the end of Nationwide Boulevard on the east bank, features a concrete ramp and ample parking, serving as the primary takeout point for the 8. 94-mile Olentangy River Water Trail.

This access point marks the end of the water trail where it meets the confluence with the Scioto River in downtown Columbus, making it ideal for paddlers completing the full trail or accessing the urban section near Ohio Stadium and The Ohio State University campus.
