Ohio whitewater - Scioto River, unknown County

O'Shaughnessy Dam section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     1 miles
 
How deep is the river? Says Cuyahogagirl

The map above I believe is incorrect. It clearly shows the put in ABOVE the O'Shaughnessy dam. Are we supposed to shoot over the spill way to a 84 foot high concrete dam? Also, the take out location appears to be the back yard of a secured private residence. Well, according to the map anyway. I wish there was more information about this location. Says Thomas Lowther

This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
