Great training river for R2 rafting. Lots of Eddies
| Reporter | Brandon Gum |
| Gauge Reading | 3500 cfs at Great Miami River at Hamilton OH |
| Flow | High Flow |
I've paddled this in a R2 10 foot RMR raft at 2500, 2500, and 4500 CFS. The eddie lines at 3500 and 4500 were great for eddie catching practice. This river has lots of solid eddies that you can use for class 3 white water move training. I'd say there are probably 8 really solid eddies to catch on this short float.
3500 CFS and above the water is really moving. Quick trips. At 4500 CFS its probably a 90 minute trip.
Overall this is a solid run for white water fundamental practice. Dont expect crazy fun rapids though. This is a class I at most. Calling this class II is a huge stretch.
Happy paddling!
Oh btw, both put-in and take out have great boat ramps.
