EXPLORE THE MAUMEE RIVER WATER TRAIL
The Maumee River Water Trail stretches 107 miles from Maumee Bay and Lake Erie to the Ohio-Indiana border, linking five Metroparks, three state parks, three wildlife areas and 15 other public parks. With 39 access points, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and amenities along the way. Named by the Miami Indians, the Maumee River was designated a State Scenic River in 1974. Its valley played a key role in the French and Indian War, the War of 1812 and the settlement of the Northwest Territory. Once part of the Great Black Swamp, the river shaped the region’s rich historical, cultural and agricultural heritage.

CELEBRATING LOCAL INNOVATION
Toledo has long been a hub of ingenuity. Beyond its famed contributions to glass and automotive industries, the city is where the first modern roller coaster design was patented, and fire-resistant cloth produced locally helped send astronauts to the moon. The interactive Made in Toledo exhibit at the Toledo History Museum, designed in partnership with Midstory, highlights the city’s rich legacy of creativity and invention. Visitors can explore the full gallery online at toledohistorymuseum.org/made-in-toledo and midstory.org/made-in-toledo. This project is partially funded by the America 250-Ohio Commission.
