There's nothing that stokes and satisfies our wanderlust quite like a day on the water. The kayaking in Ohio is extraordinary, with our river and lakes serving as the ultimate aquatic arena. Unique kayaking adventures in Ohio abound, too, from paddling past a castle to all-day trips down our state's very own lazy rivers. Today's feature adventure is wholly, wonderfully unique; it's a kayaking trip with Pea Ohana Watersports that glides beneath a famous Ohio bridge.
One of the things we love most about kayaking in Ohio is the opportunity to see our beautiful state with fresh eyes and perspective. From the water, the scenery just hits differently.

...the Muskingum River Y Bridge. This bridge in Zanesville, Ohio, is one of our state's proudest architectural feats. The three-way Y Bridge carries the traffic of U.S. Route 40 (Main Street and West Main Street) and Linden Avenue. It's one of the few bridges in the world that you can cross and still be on the same side of the river.
