The Ohio River Way is a 308-mile water trail following the borders of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Along the way, we’ve become a movement bridging communities to create a more vibrant, healthy region.
We’re working with our broad coalition of communities and organizations to:
- celebrate and enhance the natural, cultural, and historical assets of the Ohio River;
- facilitate a regional network to address common challenges and pursue shared opportunities; and
- identify and align resources to benefit the health and wellbeing of our communities.
Our mission is
to help people find adventure, inspire care for the land and water, and boost the economies of vibrant Ohio River communities by building partnerships that promote safe, healthy outdoor recreation; education; & tourism.
