Ohio whitewater, Chagrin River - Aurora Branch

Cuyahoga county, Chagrin Reservation section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     1.55 miles
 
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
