Grand

430 cfs at Grand River near Painesville OH

Boatable flows are about 100CFS+ - went at 90CFS, and it's just too low not to get stuck in spots. Safe levels for beginner and novice paddlers is between 100CFS-1500CFS. Above 1500CFS a few spots along the river require some intermediate paddling skills. In this particular run, there is a large wave train that starts on a river right turn (approx 1.5miles from put-in) and continues through an 'S' style rapid with large waves. At high water (1500+CFS) these two unnamed rapids merge and become one large 300-400yard wave train.

Further down the river there are rapids that have large waves at high water (.5miles upstream of Blair Rd to Blair Rd launch), after the Vrooman boat launch once you go around the left turn, approx .5 mile after Rt 84 in Painesville, and near Recreation Park).
