River Description

Grand River Tributary (flows into Paine Ck)

Lat/longitude coords are approximate.

(The following is NOT from first-hand knowledge, but from online investigation.)

From topozone it is hard to rationalize the IV rating. Best I can tell, at Morely Road (41.6865, -81.2593) the river is at 690'. At Hwy.86 (Painesville Warren Road) it is at 610'. That covers well over the two miles claimed by the reach, but appears to be no more than 80' of drop in over three miles. Again, best I can tell, there is no more than 50' of drop in the final 2 miles. Barring unusual circumstances this hardly seems to equate to a class IV run overall. That notwithstanding, to the admittedly less-than-perfect analysis available via GoogleMaps (and it's level of detail and resolution coulpled with a bit of imagination), there does appear to be some fairly decent rapids.

We would welcome a more detailed contribution from someone familiar with this run.
