Ghent to Cuyahoga River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II(III) 4.3 miles
the week of july 3 has been a nasty one for yellow creek. a developer in richfield has clear cut into zoned conservation district. some of this district was even under the control of the western reserve conservation district and they were never informed. this land is within 100 feet of the northern most feeder creek to yellow creek. any help we could receive with this matter would be appreciated.

The nature scenery of Ohio and the water flowing gracefully down Yellow Creek make the trip here worthwhile. The Ghent
to Cuyahoga River section of Yellow Creek in Summit County is 4.3 miles long and is a class II(III) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you're coming from Akron it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page
with more info on that. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The average Ohio whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The Ghent to Cuyahoga River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Yellow Creek. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around
here you'll find a large number of good rivers. Lodging is available near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
