Zane's Landing Park
On river left if going downstream. Take Exit #154/Fifth Street (one-way south) from I-70. At the second light, turn right onto Market Street. The road crosses railroad tracks and curves to the right to the entrance of the park.
A lovely park setting. The famous Lorena Sternwheeler moors here and provides relaxing dinner trips up the Muskingum. The famous Y Bridge (E. Main Street), which spans the Muskingum and Licking rivers, can be observed from this site. Sculptures created by artist Alan Cottrill are located in the park and include significant local heroes: John McIntire, Noah Norris, Zane Grey, and John Glenn. The only eternal flame in the nation paying tribute to Medal of Honor Veterans is found at the park. Adjacent to the park are unique stores and eateries. Paddlers should retrieve their boats near the sculptures, where the river bank is not as steep.
It is the starting point of a paved recreational trail and across Market Street is the start of the Canal Walk Path. Various concerts and events are held here every year.
