Ohio River at Flood Stage

Cincinnati, OHโ€”The Ohio River flooded in March 2011. I drove to Eden Park to see what it looked like from an observation point high above the river.

This was just over flood stage, not nearly as bad as the Flood of 1937, which was more than 25โ€™ above flood stage.

Looking for festivals on the river

CINCINNATI, OHIO–Ohio River towns offer many different types of festivals, and Iโ€™m looking forward to attending a few. More than a few, actually. The types of festivals I like to attend are the ones that celebrate community, like the Appalachian Festival in Cincinnati, 2012 and 2014, held at Coney Island on the Ohio River.

Festivals are about culture, history and food. Is there one in your town? On the Ohio River?
