The Alum Creek Trail runs for some 22 miles through southeastern Columbus, from Three Creeks Park in the south, to Westerville in the north. The closest starting point to central Columbus is 3.1 miles east of downtown, at Jeffrey Park. We’ve mapped out a 13 section north to Westerville, where there’s a Fleet Feet Sports location. The trail is popular with walkers, runner, and bikers. Sections of the trail are a little more challenging and technical.

From Jeffrey Park, it’s also possible to head south to Three Creeks Park, about 6 miles.
