If you're coming from Dayton it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. No need to look hard for hotels, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is an extremely short section so you'd better be prepared to
walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. This stretch of Mad River is 0 miles long and it is classified as a class II+ section by American Whitewater.
