Otter Creek (Ohio trib.)

I ran this creek at 2000 CFS and the big surf wave washed out, and the waves were much smaller. Basically it was washed out allot and it’s way more fun at 900 CFS. We had a blast at the park and surf thanks to the two boofs, and we surfed in our rafts behind them for about 7 hours of the day as the creek drained down to 1300 CFS. The boof on the left side of the creek is the most fun and easiest to catch, but has a sharp sword like rock behind it that has sliced open two of my rafts so far. At 1300 CFS the big surf wave wasn’t that big at all. There is now a huge sign on a rope that crosses the creek saying Blue Hole at the takeout, and it points left. Somebody told me that the park ranger advised them not to go at such a high level, and I think it’s because the current is much swifter at this level.

At 900 CFS a park ranger told us: “you better not get swept in to the Ohio River, and make us have to do a swift rescue for you two”. We told him that this creek is simple compared to Elkhorn Creek and we know exactly where to take out; at the huge eddy named blue hole, and he said nothing more. I bet they have had to do rescues with all the inexperienced tubers that go on this creek.

Me and my brother went Hiking and Rafting at Otter Creek, and my brother made a huge fully detailed webpage about the trips, and it has tons of pictures of this park. All the rafting pictures are at a level of 500 CFS:
