The nature scenery of Clermont County and the water flowing gracefully down Big Indian Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. If you're coming
    from Cincinnati-Middletown it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The Canter Road to County Road 743 section of Big Indian Creek in Ohio is 7.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV
section. There's camping available near Big Indian Creek. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is the only paddling stretch along Big Indian Creek. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that  
around here.
