River Description

The "50 Hole" is a good park and play spot. The hole is under the railroad trestle right next to Rt.50. Cross over the tracks and you will see the well worn parking space and the trail to the river.

At the higher levels it tends to be a glass wave that is good for front surfing and not much else. When it gets into the lower levels it becomes more of a hole that is good for spinning and low angle cartwheels. It is an excellent place to learn to spin (my first spin was completed here).

Behind the hole there is a huge eddy, but the eddy line is tricky (sucking whirlpools, etc). Beginners might get stuck on one of these eddy lines and have trouble rolling up.

There is a slight worry about water quality, so keep your eyes and mouth shut when you flip.

Gauge

Gauge Description:

When nothing else is running in Ohio this is normally pretty good. I have never seen the hole too low. The lower the better, 700 to 900 cfs is prime.

A Group called the Cincy Paddlers. Frequent this playspot. It is a great place to play Edit

One large limb was removed, but several still reach to within several inches of the surface. There are actually two major limbs that are problematic. One is along the right edge of the eddy line about 20-30 feet from the bank. The other is in the wave train about 40-50 feet from the boil. It may be wise to wear wrap-around safety glasses since there are smaller branches that could take out an eye. Edit
