Ohio Recreation & Refuges

• Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area
  "Ka-ih-ohg-ha" American Indians called it - crooked. And crooked it is, as it twists and turns through its short 100 miles. The Cuyahoga River begins 30 miles east of its mouth in Cleveland and flows in a great "U" along the base of the escarpment on which the city of Akron sits. Deep forests, rolling hills, and open farmlands frame the river valley. Hamlets with historic homes and barns dot the area, giving a sense of times past. Locks, spillways, an aqueduct, and other canal features provide clues to a brief but important period in America's transportation history.
• Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge
  The 5,793-acre refuge lies on the shore of Lake Erie 15 miles east of Toledo, Ohio where the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways intersect. Crofts and his brother Mike are highly accomplished birders. They have voluntarily conducted monthly bird censuses on the refuge for 23 years and have been involved in a host of other volunteer refuge activities for almost a decade. Now they are spearheading the campaign to establish a refuge support organization.
