Yep, Ontario!   Grin  

I'm from central Ohio & I love living where I do, but truthfully, I have a hard time getting very excited about canoeing Ohio after spending time in any part of northern Ontario, esp. Quetico!

That said, I have canoed & camped in spots for a weekend in Ohio.  You can do this on the Mohican, Hocking and Big Darby.  Usually it's just camping at the canoe livery or a park & arranging pickup downriver, or drop off upriver.  

There's not a lot of public land where you'd actually canoe & take your gear with you (to my knowledge).

Any fellow Buckeyes have more useful info?

I am in Hilliard and I have been sticking to the lakes because I don't have a canoe partener locally.  If you need a second for running a river, let me know.

Someone told me I could also go down to paint creek, but then again, I need a second to run a river.  Agg.

I am currently investigating possibilities for the Little Miami River.  It is on the National Senic River list.  I will report back when I find anything out.  KNU4U     It is in the SW corner of Ohio, I'm from Cincinnati.

The Little Miami is 2 miles from my door.  I visit often.  If you go during the week it's amazing how few people you see being so close to large metropolitan areas.  The river in the upper half is only 30-40 feet wide - a beautiful river and easy canoeing, no rapids to worry about.  If you like to fish you can catch sunfish, rock bass, carp and an occasional smallmouth.  There are a few places along the river you can camp.  There are a number of good canoe outfitters as well.  Weekends are busy - go during the week and you will be pleasantly surprised.

I live about 30 miles east of the Little Miami. A bunch of us from the tri-state area got together in May 04 for a weekend camp-out and float trip. We camped at Little Miami Canoe's camp-ground in Morrow. It is a very nice primitive camp-ground with 12 acres of mature shade trees and grassy ground. It is very nice and secluded. If anyone has any more questions just shoot me an e-mail.   Tom.
