Follow our main page Cuyahoga Falls Fest to stay up to date! @CuyahogaFallsFestA Fun for All paddle fest focused on Downtown Cuyahoga Falls and the Upper Gorge of the Cuyahoga River. Paddlers, spectators, and photographers can enjoy themselves in Historical Downtown Cuyahoga Falls, whether on the water or on foot, exploring the urban riverfront and growing variety of businesses.
The Cuyahoga Falls Fest is a gathering of experienced whitewater paddlers. The Upper Gorge features challenging Class IV-V+ rapids (flow-dependent), requiring proper gear, expert skills, and training. Paddlers must form their own groups, create safety plans, and handle any shuttle logistics.
Due to unforeseeable weather events and variable water levels, paddlers should consider alternative paddling options if the Upper Gorge conditions are not favorable for their abilities.
Disclaimer:
This is an informal meetup. There are no professional guides, instructors, formal trip leaders, or organized safety oversight provided.
All paddlers enter the river at their own risk and are solely responsible for their own decisions, including assessing river conditions, choosing whether to run any section, route selection, equipment, skills, and personal safety.
Coordinators and volunteers are not providing guiding services, rescue support, or equipment.
Whitewater paddling is inherently dangerous-participate only if you are experienced, properly equipped, and comfortable with the risks involved.
