CLASS I(II) 8 miles
This stretch of Vermilion River in Ohio is 8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I(II) section. The nature scenery of Erie County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The put-in is not too far from Sandusky, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. On this section you do get some distance,
suitable for an afternoon trip. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. Since you're on this site you are probably into
whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too.
