Grand Rapids section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
How long is the Maumee river and what lake does it pass through Says Jamesa Mackey
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Ohio are easier than the national norm, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The nature scenery of -blank- County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. This stretch is short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make
reservations in advance you're all set. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others
too. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots.
