🛶 Where To Go Kayaking In Columbus

Sponsored by The JuntoThe newest addition to Franklinton is The Junto, an independent lifestyle hotel and modern-day ‘club for mutual improvement,’ where people from all backgrounds can come together to discuss issues and ideas of the time. If, like me, you think this would be an epic place to enjoy a little staycation, you're in luck. The hotel has a special 'Locals Only' package complete with 15% off guest rooms and complimentary parking. The Junto is expected to open Memorial Day weekend. For more info, or to book your stay, please visit thejuntohotel.com. 😍

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

The summer vibes have fully arrived here in Columbus, which always makes me think about one thing: finding the nearest body of water that offers any sort of water activity and hopping in. One of my favorite ways to spend a sunny day in Columbus is kayaking. Whether you're looking for pastoral country views or sweeping views of the downtown skyline, there's a kayaking route and a rental company to help you.
