LUCKY RIVER,
THE LITTLE MIAMI

{short description of image} Flowing through the glacial hills of southwestern Ohio, there runs beautiful and lucky little river. Lucky because it's narrow valleys and early spring floods have kept at bay those encroachments of man which have destroyed the natural values of so many streams like the Little Miami. Lucky because in the 1970's the river became included in the Federal Scenic Rivers Program, being only one of 19 rivers so designated. Lucky because now there is forever a dedication to keep its corridors green and it's waters clean. For the moment, away from swarming highways, crowded shopping centers and hurried businesses, you're invited by nature to canoe down this beautiful river with a peaceful timetable of it's own.
