Ohio River Water Trail

[5] The Ohio River Water Trail project originated in 2010 to develop a dedicated safe route for boats that provides a destination for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, small motorized watercraft, and other recreation.

These routes establish recreational corridors between specific locations and can include boat launches and access points, day-use sites, and in some cases overnight camping.

[10] The members of the partnership include the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, National Park Service – Chesapeake Bay Gateways & Watertrails Network, and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program.

Each water trail is unique, a reflection of Pennsylvania's diverse geology, ecology and communities.

[11][12][13] NRT is a designation given to trails that contribute to the health, conservation, and recreation goals in the United States.
