Ohio Guide Collection
Description: This photograph shows several sailboats on the Ohio River near Cincinnati, Ohio. During the warmer months, many Ohioans can be seen flocking to lakes and rivers for picnicking, sunbathing, sailing and swimming. The Ohio River is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River and is about 981 miles long. It begins at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in Point State Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It forms the border between Ohio and West Virginia, as well as Ohio and Kentucky, Indiana and Kentucky and Illinois and Kentucky. It joins the Mississippi near Cairo, Illinois. View on Ohio Memory.
