Take Out

Holes Creek is a small whitewater stream located in Montgomery County, Ohio, stretching 12.28 miles with a significant elevation drop of 278 feet. This take-out access point serves paddlers completing runs on what is classified as a headwater stream with a moderate to steep gradient of 22.6 feet per mile. With an average flow of 23.90 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.17 feet per second, Holes Creek offers whitewater conditions suitable for paddlers seeking technical creek boating experiences in the greater Miami River system.

The stream's steeper gradient and smaller drainage basin indicate faster-moving water typical of upper watershed creek runs. Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for potential obstacles common to small whitewater streams, including rocks, strainers, and varying water levels depending on recent rainfall. The creek's proximity to its headwaters means water conditions can change rapidly, so checking current flow data before paddling is recommended.

This is a dedicated whitewater take-out point, making it an essential exit location for paddlers running the upper sections of Holes Creek. Given the creek's technical nature and small size, this access point is primarily suitable for experienced whitewater paddlers with proper safety equipment and creek-running skills.
