Little Miami - 4. Kelley Nature Preserve to Milford (Jim Tarrell Park) (OH)
Best boatable levels for play. Around 6.5 feet is prime.
Three small rocky slides/ledges on the river left can make some small waves and surf spots. Small surf hole at the top that has eddy service on river left. The middle part of this rapid is a great place to practice ferrying, peeling out, and catching eddies.
The river right side is generally runnable all year, the left dries up around 5.5 feet. At the bottom of the drops, there is a great deep pool on river left that is good for teaching people to roll in. There's a nice gravel/sand beach there as well. If teaching isn't your thing, you can use the eddy line there for some squirts. Nice deep water for rolling.
