Preserving the Little Miami One Trip at a Time


Our stretch of the beautifully preserved Little Miami River is some of the most undisturbed and scenic waterways Ohio has to offer. This is in part due to the conservation efforts performed by the Little Miami Conservancy, of which Rivers Edge’s founder Rhett Rohrer is a sitting trustee.

At RiversEdge, we are committed to protecting the beauty of the Little Miami River. As a state and federally designated scenic river, it’s important to us that we do our part in protecting its natural resources. That’s why we have partnered with the Little Miami Conservancy, donating $1 for every boat rented to support their conservation efforts.

When you choose RiversEdge Outfitters, you’re not only experiencing the stunning beauty of the river but also contributing to its protection for generations to come. Together, we can ensure that the Little Miami River remains a pristine national treasure.
