There is a great new app available for iPhone/iPad and Android that will help you pinpoint river conditions for worry-free boating.
In the app store or Google play search for Recr8OhioRiver.
The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) and its partners, Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky (SD1) and the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), are committed to improving water quality in the Ohio River and promoting it as a natural and economic asset.
The group has developed the Recr8OhioRiver website and an app to provide Ohio River water quality information and river conditions in the Greater Cincinnati area (from the Meldahl to Markland Locks and Dam) to recreational users and others as they are planning to boat, fish, swim or engage in other water sports.
This app will let you know river conditions, water temperature, swimming conditions, etc.
