For those who wish to paddle a 1.5 mile section of the river upstream of Tannery Park through downtown Kent BEFORE meeting paddlers who will start at Tannery Park, meet at 10:00 a.m.
at River Bend Park, (GPS 41.168823, -81.347997)
a small access area on 600 River Bend Boulevard, about one-quarter mile east of Ohio Route 43. After unloading boats and gear, we will drive to the take-out at Waterworks Park and shuttle back to River Bend in as few cars as possible.

At lower water levels, this section has about a mile of class 1-2 rapids through a very interesting narrow gorge that includes the historic dam that once spanned the river in downtown Kent. Paddlers who want to run this section should have good boat control in a moderate current. At higher levels, the rapids turn to class 2-3. We will NOT run this 1.5 mile section if the flow exceeds 750 cfs on the USGS gauge. Meet instead at the Tannery Park put-in at 11:30. Watch the club website if there is any question whether we will run this section.
