The Ohio River Way is a 275-mile water trail beginning in Portsmouth, Ohio and ending downstream from Louisville, Kentucky. The trail was commemorated in 2022. After the ribbon cutting in Portsmouth, Ohio, two groups began their 10-day journey to Louisville. In celebration of the 2022 Ohio River Challenge Paddle, the group stopped in several cities to dedicate various mile markers.
