The wonderful Indiana scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. There are nice comfortable hotels here, and if you make reservations
in advance you're all set. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. This is an extremely short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There's camping available near Ohio River.
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners.
