WHERE GOOD RIVER BEGINS

The Ohio River watershed spans 205,000 square miles and flows through 15 states. It’s a vast network of creeks, streams, and rivers.

This system provides drinking water to over five million people and supports some of the most diverse ecosystems in the country.

But this isn’t just where water flows.
It’s where our purpose flows from, too.

DID YOU KNOW…

Great blue herons can often be seen along the Ohio River and its tributaries in Cincinnati. These graceful birds thrive where the water is healthy enough to support fish and amphibians, making them a living indicator of a strong watershed.

Mallards are one of the most common ducks along the Ohio River watershed, and they play a big role in the ecosystem. By dabbling in shallow waters, they help stir up nutrients and spread plant seeds, keeping wetlands healthy and thriving.

Fish are one of the best indicators of watershed health. Species that need clean, oxygen-rich water won’t survive in polluted environments, so spotting a wide variety of fish in the Ohio River is a sure sign the ecosystem is bouncing back.
