Having paddled the 70 miles of the Great Miami, the WW is great for beginners or rec paddlers wanting to have a little excitement added to their trip. Water Quality is good, in fact it can be better then the Little Miami during low water. Best time to hit the GM is when it is running between 2500cfs and 3800cfs (Hamilton USGS gage if your looking for some WW. There isn't too many places in the summer in the Midwest you can find good water and waves, but the Great Miami still flows well in August. Says Misty Duff
50 hole is not much of a surf |
and it is a porta john.... Says Tim Richmond
The natural beauty of Hamilton County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Ohio are easier than the national norm, so don't forget that rivers

The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The put-in is not too far from Cincinnati-Middletown, if you're | |
