The Ottawa River flows through Allen and Hardin Counties, past farms, neighborhoods and city streets. It is a living, vital river that shapes our landscape and our lives. The Ottawa River Coalition was formed to preserve and protect the river; and dozens of businesses, industries, governments, organizations and individuals work together toward that common goal. The Ottawa River is healthier now than it has been in decades because people are making positive impacts. A healthy river supports a healthy community. This is your river. What are you doing to protect it?
The Ottawa River Coalition’s annual Good Friday Fish Fry is April 2 from 11:00am – 6:30pm at the Allen County Fairgrounds. It will be a drive-thru only this year. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Order your tickets online or contact Haley at 419-999-0319. Thank you for your support!

Governor Mike DeWine has announced an initiative to ensure safe and clean water for all Ohioans. It is a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improving water quality over the long term. H2Ohio focuses specifically on reducing phosphorus, creating wetlands, addressing failing septic systems, and preventing lead contamination.

I just think the Ottawa River Coalition is a great organization of groups that have the same purpose: to improve the water quality and environment in our community. So hats off to them!
Today the Ottawa River is just beautiful. We wouldn't be where we're at today without the Coalition.
It's very refreshing to see a lot of different people working together for a common goal: to have a healthy river in our community.
It's exciting being a part of making the community better for all of us to live in.
