| 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. What's new at RU?

A Woman's Journey Down the Great Miami River: A Video Blog Rivers Unlimited volunteer Misty Duff of GMR Riversports embarked on a 65-mile paddle down the Great Miami River from Troy to Middletown. Her goal is to "change some of the negative thinking about the river by filming video blogs to to show that this river is not dirty, unsafe and inaccessible. We plan to cover not only wildlife but also some of the amenities of the river towns along the way, and to show how to safely protage around lowhead dams. Click here to view the video blogs.
