There are few things in this life where there is clear evidence of a legacy left behind for those of future generations. The Ohio River Greenway is a shining example of individuals, businesses leaders, communities and foundations all working together to leave a legacy that celebrates our Ohio River history. River Heritage Conservancy was established to build on the greenway initiatives to build a park that is Unparalled in this region and Indiana. A park that celebrates the history, the wildlife and the Raw Awe of a space that has struggled and has not only survived, but thrived. A park that will offer opportunities to create and innovate, experience peace, excitement, and joy. A place that individuals and their families will be drawn to as they forge a new story for this area and their families for generations to come.

Preserving History & Beauty
This area called Southern Indiana shares a unique place in the history of America; from the prehistoric fossil beds at the Falls of the Ohio, to George Rogers Clark’s push to open up the West to the manufacturing of wood, steamboats, and glass. The Conservancy is making sure our land is preserved in its natural state and passed on for future generations to enjoy.
Providing Quality Amenities
It is our hope that this enjoyable, natural space will be a connecting point for families and friends to meet, gather, and celebrate. Families and friends can enjoy nature while playing games, sharing good food, and increasing the overall quality of their lives. Think of a place that will enhance lives through outdoor opportunities such as running, bicycling, and boating, to name just a few.
Sustaining Park Services
Building a quality park that can be enjoyed year round and preserving the history that surrounds the Ohio River, as well as that of the towns and cities along the river, is a crucial element of our mission. While building and preserving are extremely important, the ability to maintain this pristine part of our local culture throughout the seasons and over many years to come, is one of River Heritage Conservancy's key pillars of success.
