Ohio whitewater - Massie's Creek, Green County

Green county, Wilberforce section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     0.5 miles
  The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. The starting location is a short drive from Springfield, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The
    natural beauty of Ohio and the water flowing gracefully down Massie's Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The Wilberforce stretch of Massie's Creek
in Ohio is 0.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. This stretch is very short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Massie's Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Wilberforce stretch is the only one. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
