Data notes: The NHDPlus line for this river has 2 breaks, so distances across a break may run short. 84 access points are more than 0.1 mi from the mapped line; its river mile is where it meets the line.
Sources: river line and lengths from NHDPlus V2 via EPA WATERS (lengths scaled to each reach's published length); access points from Indiana DNR Public Access Sites, Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Access Sites, Ohio DNR Paddling Access, OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), PA Fish & Boat Commission, WV DNR Public Fishing Access Sites. Only access points in our launch data are shown, so there may be others. Check access, dams and conditions before you go.
