About the ohio river
The Ohio River is a 981-mile-long river that flows through six U.S. states. It was a significant pathway for westward expansion and played a vital role in the development of the Midwest. The river's hydrology is influenced by precipitation and snowmelt, and it is now heavily managed with a series of locks and dams to aid in navigation and control flooding. The two largest reservoirs on the river are the 50-mile-long Kinzua Dam and the 104-mile-long Barkley Dam. The river provides a source of drinking water for millions of people and supports agricultural activities such as crop irrigation. Recreation opportunities include fishing, boating, and camping along the river's banks. The Ohio River remains an important economic and cultural resource for the region.
