The Maumee River (pronounced ) (Shawnee: Hotaawathiipi) is a river running from northeastern Indiana into northwestern Ohio and Lake Erie in the United States. It is formed at the confluence of the St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers, where Fort Wayne, Indiana has developed, and meanders northeastwardly for through an agricultural region of glacial moraines before flowing into the Maumee Bay of Lake Erie. Toledo, Ohio developed at the Maumee River's mouth. It was designated an Ohio State Scenic River on July 18, 1974. The Maumee watershed is Ohio’s breadbasket, two-thirds farmland, mostly corn and soybeans. The Maumee watershed is the largest of any of the rivers feeding the Great Lakes, and supplies 5 percent of Lake Erie’s water.
