Cuyahoga county, Rt. 82 to Brecksville Reservation section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     1.65 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Ohio tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The scenic beauty of Cuyahoga County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Chippewa Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Rt. 82 to Brecksville Reservation section is the only one. There's camping available near Chippewa Creek. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of
    people coming here. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The Rt. 82 to Brecksville Reservation stretch of Chippewa Creek is 1.65 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This
section is quite short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The put-in location is a short drive from Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
