The Shade River is a tributary of the Ohio River in southeastern Ohio in the United States. Via the Ohio River, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of Script error: No such module "convert". on the unglaciated portion of the Allegheny Plateau. The Shade River is Script error: No such module "convert". long, or Script error: No such module "convert". including its west branch.[1]
The Shade River flows predominantly as three streams, its east, middle, and west branches. It is formed by the confluence of its middle and west branches, and collects its east branch shortly thereafter:[2]
- The West Branch Shade River rises in Scipio Township in Meigs County, at an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert"., and flows east-southeastwardly through Bedford and Chester Townships.[3][2] The West Branch is Script error: No such module "convert". long and drains an area of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]
- The Middle Branch Shade River rises southeast of the city of Athens in Athens Township in Athens County, at an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert"., and flows southeastwardly through Alexander, Lodi, and Carthage Townships in Athens County; and Bedford, Orange, and Chester Townships in Meigs County.[4][2] The Middle Branch is Script error: No such module "convert". long and drains an area of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]
- The East Branch Shade River rises in Lodi Township in Athens County, at an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert"., and flows south-southeastwardly through Carthage Township in Athens County, and Orange and Chester Townships in Meigs County.[5][2][6] The East Branch is Script error: No such module "convert". long and drains an area of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]
From the confluence of the middle and west branches in Chester Township, the Shade River flows generally eastwardly, past the community of Chester. It collects its east branch from the north at the community of Keno, and enters the Ohio River in Olive Township, approximately Script error: No such module "convert". south of the community of Long Bottom.[2]
According to the Geographic Names Information System, the Shade River has also been known historically as "Shade Creek" and as "Devils Hole Creek."[7]
Flow rate
At the United States Geological Survey's stream gauge downstream of Chester, the annual mean flow of the river between 1965 and 2012 was Script error: No such module "convert".. The highest recorded flow during the period was Script error: No such module "convert". on March 2, 1997. The lowest recorded flow was Script error: No such module "convert". on September 5, 2007.[8]
