Description
The Ballville Dam was removed in 2018. In its place stands an ice control structure that also serves as a large debris catcher. This structure now marks the starting point of a short, enjoyable, and beginner-friendly stretch of river.
The Maumee River is only 30 minutes away and has a fun 5 mile run or Park and Play at Turkyfoot.
The Upper Sandusky River at Tiffin is only 15 minutes away and is usually more fun. Tiffin also has Park and Play at Huss Street .
