We can all use a change of scenery from time to time — a fresh perspective and a new experience. Ohio is a beautiful state that’s easy to take for granted, which is why we recommend playing “tourist” in your hometown! In Toledo, J&M Cruise Lines offers a canal boat tour that does just that, inviting folks to climb aboard the Sandpiper for an unforgettable journey down the magnificent Maumee River.

Ohio's largest cities are located on the water: Cincinnati, the Ohio River; Columbus, the Scioto River; and Cleveland, Lake Erie. Toledo, too, is located on the water, along the magnificent Maumee River.
