State officials told Geauga County commissioners on Oct. 27 that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources intends to pursue an extension of the Upper Cuyahoga Scenic River designation inside the county, the Geauga County Maple Leaf reported.
The Maple Leaf published the account under the headline "ODNR Seeks Scenic River Extension in Geauga." Past the opening sentence, the story is reserved for subscribers, so the public portion does not specify which stretch of river would be added, how many miles are involved, when a request might be filed, or how riverside property owners could be affected.
The available text describes no vote, motion or formal position taken by the commissioners. It indicates only that the proposal was presented to the board at the Oct. 27 session.
The article does not state the year of that meeting. Because the story carries a Nov. 4, 2026 date, the briefing appears to have occurred in late October of this year, though the report itself does not confirm it.
