On July 21-22, the Cuyahoga River comes to life with splashing paddles as dozens of paddleboards, kayaks and canoes hit the water for Blazing Paddles Paddlefest from sharetheriver. 🌊

“We have an opportunity to continue the national conversation,” says Jim Ridge, event organizer and founder of Share the River. "Clean water is not a drag on the economy; it serves as an economic driver, and it’s a way to attract people here. We see that in the rise of waterfront development along the Cuyahoga River. People want to work and play here.”
