Kayaking the Scioto River in Columbus 08-07-2011

Starting at the O'Shaughnessy Dam and ending at the Griggs Reservior Dam. About 9.5 miles. The first 4 miles have a nice current, but it's flat water paddling after that. Expect to see lots of Blue Heron, Kingfisher, Osprey, ducks and geese.

Nice little adventure! I wouldn't have thought of it myself, but am now jealous. Always amazed at what you guys think of to do.
