Valley Gem

Ohio History

Sun on the Confluence

Then we boarded the Valley Gem sternwheeler, just downriver from the Snyder, not just to look but for a ride! The one-and-a-half hour cruise took us down the Muskingum out to the confluence with the Ohio River. The river, dotted with little fishing boats, sparkled in the shimmering sun. There were dredgers working in the confluence, seen here as we enter the Ohio River from the Muskingum.
