Cuyahoga Dangerous for River-Goers
Crooked River Adventures said there are still too many factors, including fallen trees, that make the river dangerous for rowers still.
After storms from last week raised water levels and tore down trees, the Cuyahoga River is still unsafe for kayakers and canoers.
Crooked River Adventures announced on Facebook July 18 that it will remain closed through this weekend.
"Although the water level is receding, river conditions are still very dangerous due to obstructions in the water. We'll be working to remove fallen trees and other hazards with a chainsaw in the coming days," the Facebook post read, adding safety is the top priority.
Following last week's severe storm, the Cuyahoga River crested at 14.28 feet, which just happens to be the highest level ever recorded, according to Cuyahoga Falls Service Director Valerie Wax Carr in this Cuyahoga Falls Patch story with video of the river.
