Mohican State Scenic River
The Mohican River was designated as “scenic” in December 2006. The lower section of the Clear Fork and the Mohican River consists of a lush forested river valley and clean, flowing waters which provide valuable habitats for numerous flora and fauna. Clear Fork Gorge State Nature Preserve lies adjacent to the scenic river.
Other public lands in the watershed include Mohican State Park and Mohican Memorial State Forest. There are a variety of camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking and picnicking activities available along the Mohican River.
Grand River
The lower section of the Grand River in Lake County is designated “wild.” A view of the river at this area is truly spectacular especially when showers of waterfalls cascade over the steep shale bluffs.
Due to the number of partnering organizations working in the Grand, there are numerous ways to access the river for picnicking, fishing, hunting, bird watching, hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, or whatever you’re into!
Muskingum River Parkway
The Muskingum River Parkway is a rich cultural and natural resource. History lives as the ten locks are hand-operated today in the same manner as 150 years ago. In its day, the system of locks and dams that extends 112 miles through southeastern Ohio, helped open the state and the entire Midwest to trade and development.
Today, it serves the needs of more than 7,000 recreation boaters each year who come to fish, picnic and play in the scenic Muskingum Valley.
Hocking River
The name for the Hocking River was originally derived from the Native American Hokhokken or Hokhochen, meaning “bottle-shaped” or “gourd-shaped”, referring to the configuration of the river at Logan. The 95-mile length of the river makes it Ohio’s 14th longest river.
Ideally suited for paddlers of all experience levels, the Hocking flows through an abundance of public lands and provides many recreational opportunities that include canoeing, fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. |
