Ohio Clean Marinas Certification
Riverview RV Park & Marina is one of the 28 Marinas in the state of Ohio that have pledged to become a Certified Clean Marina this year. The process takes a year to upgrade facilities, and meet all requirements and regulations. Colleen Wellington, the program coordinator, will be visiting our park this year to certify Riverview.
After just four years in existence, the Ohio Clean Marinas Program and

It's a process that benefits marina communities and the entire Lake
Erie ecosystem. ...[read more]
