Ross County river may earn scenic river designation
CHILLICOTHE - Paint Creek, North Fork Paint Creek, Rattlesnake Creek and Rocky Fork Creek may soon earn a designation of scenic river, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The Paint Creek system, which reaches through Ross and Highland counties, would become only the 16th river to earn such a designation since the program began in 1968, said ODNR Scenic River Program Manager Bob Gable in a Ross County Commissioner s meeting on Monday.
A scenic river designation means that the waterway retains a majority of its natural characteristics although the water may show some signs of human activity. To qualify, the stream must have at least 25% of its riparian corridor in forest for a width of 300 feet.
