I feel your pain. Living in the Cincinnati area (Northern KY, SW Oh, SE IN). I think I'm one of the few female riders around here. I'm also looking for some good water. Ohio river (when there isn't an ecoli alert) is flooded, dangerous or your spending your time trying to avoid logs and trees.
I suggest you take your quest to the general wake board forum. You might get more of a response there.

Kerrioke...ever been to Brookville in Indiana? It's east and pretty close to Cincy I think. I haven't been since early this summer and it was crazy busy by like 10am. It's like any of the lakes in Indiana...if you're not up at the crack of dawn you're wasting your time. It's a good lake if you get up early enough though. I live little bit east of Indianapolis. I've also been up to Salmonie which is I think up more towards wakerboarder_124's way. _________________ Cause we are strictly business and we also got our pride
And if you don't like it, I suggest you break wide |

Hey Wakebabe07... it's good to hear of other Buckeye's and Hoosiers (indywakechica) on this forum. I was feeling kinda lonely for awhile.
With regards to good water. I've been to Brookville Lake in IN once. Fourth of July a few years ago. It rained most of the morning which scared everyone away. We stayed and had great water. I've heard horror stories of how bad Brookville gets. We typically go to Ceasers Creek in Wilmington OH. It's about 30 min north of Cincy on I71 and it SUCKS OUT THE WAAZOO. Every time I go, I swear it's my last time. We try to put in at @ 7 am then we're ready to bag it by noon. The waters not really smooth even at 7 am because of all the fishermen. After @ 11 am the only thing you can do is hang out in the no wake zone and drink beer because it's WAY TOO crowded. Cigarette boats and big cruiser all trying to zip up and down the water. Creates a huge mess and is dangerous. Now don't get me wrong.... I love to hang out and drink beer... I mean REALLY LOVE to drink beer. It just really cuts short the boarding time. When we really want to get serious we take a long weekend and go to Lake Cumberland KY or Lake Norris TN both @ 3 1/2 hours from Cincy OH. Totally unspoiled water all day long!!! |

Kerriokie,
Where specifically do you live in Ohio? I live in Lynchburg (about 35 miles east of Cincy) I work in downtown though. I agree 100% with you on Ceaser's Creek. It really does stink. We stopped going there all together because you just can't get smooth water any time of day. My husband and I go to Cumberland quite a bit but when we stay local, we go to Rocky Fork or Paint Creek. Have you heard of/been to either? They are closer to where we live (around Hillsboro Oh) and are fairly small but you can get smooth water early morning or evening. We normally hit Rocky on weeknights and Paint on weekends.
I just started boarding over the July 4th weekend and I am an addict now!
Anyway, good to see another Cincy girl on here _________________ Persistence, not perfection, will get you to your goal! |

Live in Mason OH. Kings Island area. I've been to Rocky Fork once, prewake boarding days. Never been to Paint Creek. Do you have any info on it ? Web site or anything? I am familiar with Hillsboro OH. Have some friends who's 'rents live there. How long of a commute do you have to down town? My fiance and I both work in Northern KY. @ hour commute home every day. Most of our riding occurs on the weekends. Definitely glad to see other cincy chicks out riding! _________________ It's not the motion of the ocean, but the size of his wake that matters. |

I found this web site that has a bit of info on Paint Creek:
http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/paintcrk.htm
Like I said, it is pretty small but it is not quite as busy as many of the others. Even on Saturday afternoons we manage to get some boarding/skiing in. It isn't the best but definitely not too choppy to have a little fun.
That's cool that you have heard of Hillsboro. With working downtown, many people haven't. I have about an hour commute as well but I am fortunate enough to work from home 2 days a week so I only have to fight the traffic 3 days a week
Have you been boarding long? I am still new and could definitely use some tips. If you'd be interested in checking the lake out sometime, let me know. Maybe we could meet up or something. _________________ Persistence, not perfection, will get you to your goal! |

Thanks for the info on Paint Creek. I've only been riding a year. I really don't know any tricks. Learning w2w. I've got the fundamentals down....my finace says I just need to get stoked! I had a pretty bad injury (non wakeboard related) to my hand and had to sit out last half of May and all of June. The year for me just got started in July. I borrowed some instructional videos from a friend. I'm hoping they will help me catch up! We are definitely interested in checking out Paint creek. We've commited ourselves again (glutten for punishment) to Ceasers creek. Have friends from Columbus meeting us there. Hopefully this will be the last time I put myself though that torture again When we make it there, I'll definitely let you know in advance. Would be cool to meet with other boarders in the cincy area!! _________________ It's not the motion of the ocean, but the size of his wake that matters. |
