Cook Road to I-275 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV 1 miles
Horner is a great run with 3 major drops from 6 feet to 10-11 feet, the only problem is the take out. First you could carry the mile and a half out a trail on river left, or go under interstate 275 through a 100 yard long tunnel scout the tunnel first for strainers, third you could walk several hundred yards up to 275 and get out on the interstate shoulder. With all this in mind you might as well say forget Horner and head for Halls creek or Hershel run. Both have way easier put-in's and take out's Says Tim Richmond- Dagger Dave
The wonderful
Ohio scenery and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Horner Run in Ohio is 1 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find
the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The starting point is not too far from Cincinnati-Middletown, as you can see on the road map further down. There are no other sections to paddle along Horner Run than the Cook Road to I-275 section. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can
camp. Lodging is available near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
