Map of the Scioto River watershed. The Scioto River (/ s aɪ ˈ oʊ t ə / sy-OH-tə) is a river in central and southern Ohio more than 231 miles (372 km) in length. [4] It rises in Hardin County just north of Roundhead, Ohio, flows through Columbus, Ohio, where it collects its largest tributary, the Olentangy River, flows south into Appalachian Ohio, and meets the Ohio River at Portsmouth.

[66] The Ohio River flow is greater than that of the Mississippi River, so hydrologically the Ohio River is the main stream of the river system.
