The trail connects Northbank Park to Bicentennial Park in downtown Columbus, forming part of the Scioto Mile, a string of prominent parks and landmarks. South of downtown, the path meanders through The Scioto Audubon Park and has a trailhead at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center. Northwest of downtown, it connects to the northbound Olentangy Trail. In 2013, the Scioto Greenway Trail opened new segments giving access to Grandview Avenue and Fifth Avenue, as well as to the Hilltop Connector Bridge, which continues southwest to the Camp Chase Trail.[1]

The trail is within the Franklin County section of the Ohio to Erie Trail and is also part of U.S. Bicycle Route 50.
