- River = Little Miami River, Kelley Nature Preserve to Milford
- R2 Rafting with RMR Storm
- Float time = ~2.5 hours
- Height = 7.2ft
- Practically no flat water paddling required.
- I do agree that most rapids are washed out at this height. Probably gets better closer to 9-10ft. 6 to 6.5ft are definitely the better heights for good rapids.
- The class two rapid just ahead of Milford takeout was roaring. 3ft waves at least. Lots of fun with no consequences.
- At this height you could run to the bass island take-out to hit a few of the extra rapids past the Milford take-out without excessive flat water paddling
- Wind Speed = 15 MPH with 30MPH gusts
- You would never know it though. Wind was not a problem at all. Either because of tree coverage or maybe the wind was with us.
- Scenic River Canoe was not running this day. Plenty of private boaters out. Gorgous day. Dont let the washed out rapids talk you out of going, still a really good time.
- Strainers were not an issue. THis was my first run of the season. I didnt see any deposits from over the winter that will be a problem this season
