Reconnect with Nature
Like the rivers carving their way through Defiance County, Northwest Ohio is a confluence of outdoor experiences. Of course, the Maumee, Auglaize, and Tiffin rivers are a draw for nature enthusiasts of all ages, providing ample opportunities for fishing, boating, and kayaking. But the great outdoors extends beyond the flowing streams. Our fabulous city parks promise memorable moments in the sunshine and fresh air with playgrounds, splash pads, pools, and trails to explore. Plus, the asphalt path around our reservoir provides a smooth surface for a leisurely stroll.
