River Canoe, Kayak and Tubing in the Muskingum River
The Tuscarawas River, one of the three rivers in Coshocton, Ohio, is a significant tributary to the Muskingum River. Stretching about 130 miles, it flows through four counties before joining the Walhonding River near Coshocton to form the Muskingum River. This river offers a scenic journey through urban areas to peaceful rural escapes, with historical sites and natural landscapes along the way, making it ideal for various river activities.
The Walhonding River is another key tributary of the Muskingum River. It runs for 23.5 miles in east-central Ohio, entirely within Coshocton County. This river is formed by the confluence of the Mohican River and the Kokosing River and flows through the towns of Nellie and Warsaw. The Walhonding River, along with the Tuscarawas, contributes to the formation of the Muskingum River at the city of Coshocton.
Lastly, the Muskingum River is created by the confluence of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas rivers at Coshocton. It flows about 112 miles southward, passing through Zanesville and McConnelsville, and eventually drains into the Ohio River at Marietta. The Muskingum River is navigable due to a series of locks, dams, and short canals, most of which were built between 1935 and 1941.
These three rivers form a unique waterway system that presents excellent opportunities for water-based recreational activities, making the location ideal for a livery like the one planned at The Boathouse Tavern in Coshocton, Ohio.
