Ohio whitewater, Cuyahoga River

Portage Summit county, Kent to Munroe Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(III)     0.25 miles
 
For the Cuyahoga River section kent to Munroe Falls, If you want to have fun and river run and you want the rapids and the dam chute, you'll  have to get in at Riverbend Blvd and out at 41.1477 -81.36786 (John Brown Tannery Park). This is what you have listed at the put in. This is pretty fun when low but gets fast and fun especially when the water is above 700 CFS, I believe. We went around 1100 CFS and experienced class 2 to moderate 3 in
    some spots with nice surfabel holes for fun along the way. When this high the short trip  goes fast with not many Eddie's. Check river gauge here. Make sure to stay right after the dam chute as the current wants to pull
everything left into existing strainers. Says Bret R

The scenic beauty of Ohio and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The starting point is not too far from Akron, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling
 
places. A bit of exercise 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 a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers in this state are suitable for beginners. This is an extremely short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. This stretch of Cuyahoga River in Ohio is 0.25 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II(III) section of whitewater. The Kent to Munroe Falls stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system.
