Went down the chutes yesterday at 7.68ft. on the gauge. Was the most incredible whitewater I've seen in Ohio.A 4 to 6ft. surfable wave hole forms from the shoreline to Turtle Rock. About three forths of the river wide. The normal nasty pour over became a 7ft standing wave. Absolutly Awesome Park and play. I think it was really safer than normal, no exposed rock and deep water to flush through.
