MUSKINGUM RIVER DESIGNATED AS OHIO?S NEWEST WATER TRAIL The 112-mile Muskingum is Ohio?s longest navigable river lying entirely within the state The historic, 112-mile Muskingum River in southeast Ohio became the state?s second water trail today, following designation by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). ODNR officials, along with a variety of state and local partners, participated in a ceremony at Malta Park in Morgan County that coincided with the Muskingum Riverfest, an annual celebration of boating, music and folk arts on the river. The Ohio Water Trails initiative serves to increase accessibility to rivers and streams for Ohio?s paddlesport and boating enthusiasts through proper design and siting of launch ramps and up-to-date navigational information. A water trail is similar to a hiking or biking trail with one critical difference the trailway already exists and access just needs to be provided. The Kokosing State Scenic River in Knox County was designated as the state?s first water trail last year. ?These designated water trails provide paddlers and anglers with safe and convenient access points to enjoy the state?s thousands of miles of rivers and streams,? said ODNR Director Sam Speck. ?The Muskingum River Water Trail and similar trails that we hope to designate in the future will improve public access to some of Ohio?s finest outdoor recreational opportunities.?
