- The Kokosing River Water Trail was the first designated trail in Ohio (June 4, 2005). The Kokosing State Scenic River enjoys a diverse ecosystem with riverine plant communities and active mammal and bird populations. More than 70 species of fish have been documented in the watershed.
- The Muskingum River Water Trail was designated on July 8, 2006. The Muskingum River has historically served as a transportation corridor to and from the Ohio River, and its abundant resources have sustained communities throughout history. The hand-operated locks of the Muskingum River Parkway (managed by ODNR State Parks) have not inhibited its natural qualities; the river is home to abundant fish, birds, and wildlife. Cities along the river provide ample amenities for through-boaters and day-trippers alike. The area is rich in history and natural appeal, making it an ideal water trail destination for all types of motorized and hand-powered boats.
- The East Sandusky Bay Water Trail was designated June 2, 2007. This trail provides an opportunity to enjoy scenic views, wildlife, cultural history and great recreational opportunities from Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie.
