At the Ohio River Way, we are deeply proud of our commitment to bringing people together of all political persuasions around our mission of helping people find adventure, inspiring care for the land and water, and boosting the economies of Ohio River communities.

We believe that everyone—and every community—deserves access to the outdoors. Increasing recreational opportunities on and along the Ohio River for all is core to who we are. We continually strive to create an organization, and to promote experiences and destinations, where everyone feels welcome and valued.

We strive to ensure that our team reflects the communities we represent and serve—from rural, Appalachian communities to urban neighborhoods in river cities. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect and understanding among our volunteers, staff, and stakeholders.

We recognize that the history of outdoor recreation has not been accessible to all, and we are committed to being part of the solution. We are dedicated to listening to and learning from varied perspectives, and we work to respectfully promote the voices of underrepresented communities. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for all who wish to enjoy the Ohio River, its communities, and its natural beauty.
