Your right on about that .. the Mighty Maumee!:)

I came across the above tidbit of Info from a paddle site when I was surfin' streams this afternoon. There was a thread started on the Maumee on here .. if it blows cold again tomorrow & I stay-in I'll surf around & see if I can add to it:)

The name given to the Hocking River is a contraction of the Delaware Indian word "Hock-Hocking" which means bottle or jug shaped.
