Most paddlers that do this stretch know the 271 surfing waves, but there is another, steeper, taller and more aggressive wave about .75 miles upstream from the 271 bridge at flows around 1000-1500 cfs. It's tough to get into, but once you're in, it's decent surfing. I think it's worth the short trip from 303 to boston mills instead of doing a park and surf.

Put-in site located south of the Lock 29 Trail head parking. The Bridge across the river is the Towpath trail, and next to it are the remains of the Ohio & Erie canal aqueduct abuttments. Lock 29 is also right there.

Railroad bridge marking roughly the end of the first third of this section.

I-80 bridge roughly marking the end of the second third of this section.
It has been speculated by some that Jimmy Hoffa is buried below the pileing immediately east of where Big Foot was last sighted.
Seeing the Goodyear blimp, is a more likely sighting than seeing Big Foot or finding Jimmy Hoffa.

Its not uncommon to see beaver along the towpath trail.
