| Rivers Unlimited is the Ohio statewide group created by citizens to protect and restore our rivers. We're the oldest in the nation, founded in 1972. We work to restore, maintain and improve the 61,000 miles of rivers and streams in the state. The condition of our river waters and corridors affects our economy, our health, our environment, our quality of life, the value of our property and the sustainability of our communities. Protected natural rivers are vital to all of us. We will work with you to investigate, research, and collaborate on ways to support and care for the river in your community.
