Photo #26002 - Point of Information - Looking south at the Maumee River Crossing the Maumee River. The river is very scenic and is the largest in northwest Ohio. In fact, it is the second largest stream flowing into Lake Erie with 4,700 cubic feet per second. The river's banks support an abundance of woodland wildflowers including jewelweed, violets and spring beauties. Songbirds such as the scarlet tanager, Louisiana water thrush and yellow-throated warbler enjoy the wooded canopy draping the river. The fox squirrel, raccoon, skunk and woodchuck find the riparian habitat suitable. Look no further than Ohio for repelling down majestic bluffs, angling for a champion-sized catch, biking along the more than 500 miles of designated paths and canoeing on Ohio's scenic rivers.
