The Hocking River is a tributary of the Ohio River. It is a popular river to paddle and has commercial trips that operate on the mid and upper sections. It flows through Fairfield, Hocking and Athens Counties. Beginning at Rockbridge Road this section is a popular and flows past the Hhocking Valley Canoe Livery and to the Falls just below OH 664. There is a stretch of class III water where the river drops over a series of ledges. Midriver is the best but watch for large rocks on the lower end of the rapids. You can scout the rapids from the bridge. You can takeout at the falls or run through them and takeout at the dam a few more miles down river.
