Struthers – 2

A wide view of the Mahoning River in Struthers, Ohio, shows a free-flowing channel bordered by mature trees and stabilized banks following dam removal. Subtle riffles and natural flow patterns are visible where the impounded pool once existed, illustrating the ecological transition achieved through the Struthers Dam removal project completed between 2019 and 2022. The restored river reach supports improved water quality, aquatic habitat, and long-term ecological resilience while enhancing recreational and community value.
