Abstract

Due to the expectation that ongoing development within Central Ohio will lead to the increased usage of its five main rivers (Big Darby Creek, Big Walnut Creek, Alum Creek, Scioto River, and Olentangy River), the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission tasked our group with creating guidelines for the sustainable development of both existing and prospective non-motorized watercraft river access points. Based on broad environmental categories (or "typologies"), we developed guidelines for the parking lots, trails, and the launch points themselves. In addition, our guidelines set general recommendations for all features, along with siting considerations for future access points along the rivers.
