  The put-in is not too far from Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. There are no other stretches to paddle along Lake Erie than the Edgewater Park stretch. The beautiful scenery of Cuyahoga County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. There are some good hotels near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The average Ohio whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so don't forget that lots of
    rivers here are good for beginners. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. This section is quite short so it's not like you're gonna spend
hours on the river in one stretch. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
