Ohio Paddle brings official Ohio water-trail geometry, agency-listed access points and mapped hazards into one trip-planning map.
Miles follow the published river centerline between the nearest mapped positions of your launch and takeout. They are approximate: centerline detail, bank access and changing channels affect the actual distance. No straight-line shortcut is added across missing river data.
Routes crossing a mapped dam are blocked. A route with no listed hazard is not a guarantee that hazards are absent. No portage or safe passage is inferred. Upstream or unverified flow direction is clearly flagged.
Water-trail coverage is a selected official inventory, not every Ohio river. Access listings are not a promise of current public permission, parking, road access or suitable launch conditions. Emergency-only and known restricted points are not trip endpoints.
USGS observations are provisional, station-specific and can be delayed or unavailable. Stage is height relative to a local gauge datum, not the depth of the river. A gauge may be distant from your chosen section. Always consult the local operator and inspect conditions.

No account or location tracking. Live gauge requests go to USGS; map tile requests go to OpenStreetMap. Your trip choices stay in this page.
