The runnable sections are river left below the damn. There are two channels. The furthest left channel has some boogie water then a stout undercut 4 ft ledge followed by a short pool ending in a manky 10 footer with rocks on the right. The next channel over is where the sweet goods are with a 4-5 ft boof into a channelized shoot followed by boogie water turning into a 20 ft slide ending with a meaty 10-12 footer. There is an underwater shelf and plenty of strainers so bring safety and make sure you know where to go. I have footage of this on youtube under East Fork Scioto Waterfall Descents.

I've been kayaking the O'Shaughnessy reservoir for about a year and I've never had any problems. The water is deep(over 6 feet) and calm, usually there are many kayaks and sails running along with no problems.
I am surprised about your comment, so I thought maybe you are misinformed.
