Trip Report

ReporterDavid Stenger

5/1/2011 Had a lazy run down rocky fork as preparation for a solo trip down the chutes today and I got to second the prior post, definitely the biggest water I have ever seen in Ohio. It was running at 8.5’ huge standing / crashing waves, and quite pushy but big fun, definitely not for the novices. Turtle rock was 3 big waves (8’ to 10’) and Third drop looked like it had several options depending on how brave you are, but I ran the traditional line to the to the left to be safe because I didn’t have support.
