Cuyahoga

• Attention: The river passes below the Route 8 bridge on this section. There is a tunnel with Left & Right channels for passage under Route 8. In the middle of the tunnel there is a gap that connects the two channels. The entrance to the tunnel is renown for having dangerous strainers and log piles. !!Always approach with caution!! The right side channel is usually clear enough for passage.

The LeFever and Sheraton dams were removed in July-Aug 2013,  This link provides a nice overview of the demolition and the video is well worth watching.  https://cfo.cityofcf.com/web/departments/service-directors-office/dam-restoration-project

Obviously, 200 years of being industrialized and covered by water will reveal 'opportunities' for improvement.  These post dam removal/river restoration efforts will need to address debris management from past bridge construction activities to trash and material removal which could create on water hazards and prevent recreational usage.

The City of Cuyahoga Falls has recently installed 2 new access points both located on river right.  The first is within Riverfront Park across from the Acme Store.  There is a fair amount of parking available.  http://www.fallsnewspress.com/news%20local/2016/07/12/photos-city-of-cuyahoga-hosts-ribboncutting-for-kayakcanoe-launch-area

The second access point is located just past the Portage Trail Bridge and is the last take out before the Class V Sheraton section.
