About Us – Friends of the Crooked River
http://cuyahogariver.net/About
Skip to Main Content. Friends of the Crooked River was formed in 1990 in order to give the 100 mile length of the Cuyahoga River a voice. We are, in one sense, the mouth of the Cuyahoga. Please spend some time on our site exploring the Cuyahoga River. Best of all, spend some time exploring the River in person. We meet the third Thursday of each month. Meetings start at 7:00 PM. They are held at 1664 Main Street, Peninsula, Ohio. Enter through the rear door. All are welcome. Click here for directions.
