Ran this stretch on 5-14-14. In severe storm and tornado warning. Seems like if there was any less water, you would touch bottom too much. One 4 or 5 foot waterfall that I carried around. The rest was fun, little drops and big waves.. Lots of fun! Probably not class IV... Or I'm awesome. Says Mike
We went to traverse these rapids on 8/6/11 and the water was only a couple inches deep at best. Nothing here was boat-able. Says Ean

The scenic beauty of Cuyahoga County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. This section of Chagrin River - Aurora Branch in Cuyahoga County is 1.55 miles long and is according
| to American Whitewater a class III-IV section of whitewater. The average Ohio whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers in this state are good for beginners. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around | |
