So Cincinnati is a go. You want to put in at the top bridge right before the first drop, which is
a clean 18/20 footer with a lil hole at the bottom and a lot of aerated water. Then you have some
class 3+ boogie time, some strainers, some footbridges you have to either crawl under or get out
around. Then you come to the first real class 4 drop, the lead*in goes under a bridge and ends
with a 6/8 foot ledge with a tricky move, pool after so you can collect your shit. Then some more
class 3 boogie. Hard to catch with levels but more water = more fun. Be Safe.
An American Whitewater member reported an access problem here in October 2000. The member
reported that a landowner strung barb wire across the river and built a very low footbridge that
makes the river impassable at higher levels. Both are reported as being very dangerous obstacles.
The creek comes up quick following hard rains and runs fairly often.
Lat/longitude coords of the putin and takeout are very approximate, from TopoZone.
