Welcome to the online home of the Cuyahoga River.

The picture in the upper corner was chosen because it illustrates that the Cuyahoga River is a river of contrasts.  For some it is a haven of beauty, a source of inspiration, and place for recreation.  For others it is a ditch to be used as a sewer and forgotten or a resource to be exploited for a quick profit.
