Ohio’s Connection From Lake Erie To The Ohio River Featured In America 250

Article Presented By The Bean Foundation…

(Columbus) – Ohio’s waterways aren’t just pretty views — they’re the lifeblood of the state’s history. From the waves of Lake Erie to the banks of the Ohio River, these “highways of hope” built towns, fueled industry, and connected communities for generations. 

The new Lake Erie to Ohio River Trail from America 250-Ohio invites you to follow their path with 150 sites across the state — including 17 Ohio state parks.  

Ride a ferry to an island getaway.  Stand in the shadow of historic lighthouses. Walk along old canal towpaths. Take in the views from river overlooks. It’s the third of six new driving trails leading up to the nation’s 250th birthday — and your ticket to exploring the stories written in Ohio’s waters.
