Ridgely Tract to Dillon Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II 4.2 miles
If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so better not forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. This stretch of Licking River in Ohio is 4.2 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. There are many good hotels to choose from, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking,
either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. The scenic beauty of Ohio and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The campgrounds here at Licking River are pretty good. Getting your paddling muscles
activated and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The starting location is a short drive from Coshocton, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip.
