Ohio whitewater - Lee's Creek, Highland County

Highland county, Rt. 28 to Rattlesnake Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     2.2 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The wonderful Highland County scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. There are no other stretches to paddle along Lee's Creek than the
    Rt. 28 to Rattlesnake Creek stretch. This section is quite short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Washington, if you're not familiar with the area
