Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Ohio are easier than the national norm, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The scenic beauty of Ohio and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. This is the only paddling stretch along Big Indian Creek. For all you camping people there are campgrounds
    nearby. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t
have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The starting point is not too far from Cincinnati-Middletown, as you can see on the road map further down.
