About the scioto river
The Scioto River is a 231-mile-long tributary of the Ohio River that runs through central and southern Ohio. It played a significant role in the history of Ohio, serving as a major transportation artery for early settlers and later as a source of water and power for industry. The river is fed by several smaller tributaries and has a drainage basin of over 6,500 square miles. The river is home to several important reservoirs and dams, including the O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, the Griggs Reservoir, and the Greenlawn Dam. These structures provide water for agriculture and other human uses, as well as flood control and hydroelectric power. Recreational opportunities on the river include fishing, boating, and kayaking. The river also supports diverse plant and animal life, making it an important natural resource for the state of Ohio.
