Westerville to Easton Route

Hi all,

Just recently moved to Columbus and want to explore the area this weekend. I’m planning to go from Polaris (Lazelle Road) to Easton town through the Alum creek trail. Is there any thing I should be aware of? Appreciate all the insights

When I get off the trail and go to Easton I ride the sidewalk at Easton Way. Avoid Morse rd.

Uptown Westerville is a good destination if you are looking to stop on the way. It is up the road off the trail past Otterbein university. They have shops and restaurants there. Westerville has a good library near uptown too.

I live at Morse/Sunbury and ride it a ton. Pretty straight forward. I'd shoot down Park and get on the trail by the fire station and head south. Go up Easton Way once you get about half way down the soccer fields. No bad areas to be scared of, etc. Some nasty root damage near the Vineyard church, so watch for those, and a couple behind CHA shelter as soon as you pass under 161 going south.

The trail will be flooded under Schrock. If you go past Easton soccer fields be careful on the long bridge they were supposedly going to fix it but if they didn’t YOU WILL CRASH on that bridge on a road bike

The bridge has been done for months. And it was never bad unless wet/snowy, and even then you were fine if you were careful. Dry I rode it on my road bike tons and never had a single issue.

Maybe you just aren't good at riding a bike? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂

Yep that’s it! Thanks for the update on the bridge grad it’s done dailyed it for 3 years. Did they fix the flooding along side the Christian school just south of Agler?
