Dive into Ohio's Waterways:
Empowering Education, Inspiring Inclusion, Ensuring Access
Our Mission
At On the Water Ohio (OTWO), our mission is to promote education, inclusion, and access to Ohio’s waterways. As a non-profit 501c3 organization, we are dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of the diverse aquatic ecosystems spanning from the Great Lakes to the Grand Rivers. We believe in providing opportunities for all individuals to engage with and enjoy Ohio’s water resources, while emphasizing the importance of conservation. Through our programs and initiatives, we strive to empower communities to connect with and advocate for the sustainable management of our precious waterways.
We are advocates of all things water!

Magic in the Water
The sun glistening against the rolling waves, and the warm breeze in the air can quickly remind you of the good times. A memory of your first sail along the shoreline; setting foot on a beach you once visited every summer; fishing with your siblings. The view of water can quickly bring a smile to your face. For those living in Northeast Ohio, we get to experience that magic almost every day with our view of beautiful Lake Erie. Pair our Great Lake with over 100 inland lakes and Ohio proves that water and magic, are never far away. Good vibes aside, our waterways also contribute to Ohio’s economic and social impact. The lakes, rivers, and streams serve as a means of transportation for goods, serve as a source of recreation and provide a natural habitat for many Ohio wildlife, creating jobs and conservation programs throughout the state. We’re proud of our waterways, and we hope you are too.
