To help continue the river’s progress, they hold yearly river clean-ups, donate to river stewards, and spend their own personal time ensuring the river can be used safely and sustainably.
Motivated to spread a more positive outlook of the Cuyahoga the couple decided to start a social venture, renting tubes on the river to give people a positive emotional experience associated with the Cuyahoga River by way of ecotourism. (Which can be attributed to all of the hard work that the community and stewards have put into this now beautiful waterway!) The results showed that the Cuyahoga was just as clean as, and often cleaner than, these other waterways. Much of the surrounding community still saw the river as dirty, so Savannah facilitated scientific experiments on the water quality of the Cuyahoga River as well as other local waterways that are used recreationally. After multiple trips floating trips, they received the same feedback from everyone they took with them: “THIS IS SO FUN!!” And that.is where the concept for a Cuyahoga focused float was born.Īs TJ & Savannah learned more about the river’s history they realized that it still had a negative connotation because of the fire 50 years prior. TJ told her about the fun he used to have floating the Frio, Comal, and Guadalupe rivers and they realized nobody was renting tubes on the Cuyahoga so they decided to buy a few of their own and float with some friends.
Savannah, a lover of all things adventure and outdoors introduced TJ to the Cuyahoga River. The couple was tired of the long distance relationship so TJ decided to move to Akron where Savannah was pursuing her PhD in Analytical Chemistry.
#RIVER FLOAT TUBES FULL#
Gathering a group of friends, a cooler full of refreshments, and a waterproof Bluetooth speaker to float down the river was is TJ’s idea of heaven.
Savannah and TJ started dating when TJ was living in Houston, but he spent most of his time exploring in the areas surrounding Central Texas, in the great outdoors. Float the River all started from a long-distance relationship between two outdoorsy nature-loving individuals.
