The average Ohio whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The Boat launch to I-475 bridge section of Maumee River in Wood County is 5.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II(III) section. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The starting point is not too far from Toledo, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Wood County and the water flowing gracefully down Maumee River have people coming here. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day
trip. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
