A relaxed Middle District day float from the Maumee North access down to the HWY 14 bridge at Dillard's Ferry. Easy water, tall bluffs, and quiet gravel bars — a great half-day option when the Upper is too low.

Highlights

  • Quiet Middle District bluffs
  • Reliable summer water
  • Easy half-day float
