About the muskingum river
The Muskingum River is a major tributary of the Ohio River, running 111 miles through southeastern Ohio. It has played an important role in the state's history, serving as a transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers. The river is home to several dams and reservoirs, including the Wills Creek Dam and Seneca Lake. The Muskingum River Parkway and its associated lakes were created in the mid-20th century to provide flood control and recreational opportunities for the region. The river supports a variety of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and camping. In addition, the Muskingum River is an important source of water for agricultural uses in the region.
