Rapid OH Class II+

Shithole

O'Bannon Creek - Gibson Road to Little Miami confluence (OH)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 300.0 – 5,000.0 CFS

Too low to boat.

Description

Seeing the sewage treatment plant means you are about to enter Shithole.  At higher water, some really big surf waves can form at the top of this rapid.  At lower levels, some fun holes are present about mid-way down.  This can have a small or big wave train or be totally washed out.  At around 5000 cfs, it's a really big ride.  Either way, expect this to evolve over time and at different river levels.  Currently there's an eddy on river left near the end of the big stuff that you can use to play and spin in a couple of small holes.
