Ok, I have to ask. Is the boating in the river really where it's happening? I spent a week in cinci this past summer while visiting a division of the company I work for, I went down to the river several evenings just to check things out and saw not one performance boat on the river, maybe I was in the wrong part?
I was thinking of transferring out to cinci in the future but was concerned about the lack of good boating areas?
For the guys that live there what do you really think of boating around the area?

Lots of performance boats around here. Spring can be tricky. The river can get pretty high with lots of floaters. Usually settles down by mid june. Good boating through october. Deep water everywhere. About 80 miles between dams. Decent bars. Good food and nice people.

502ss exactly what baja_342 said!!! Right thru downtown it doesn't seem like many boats, go east or west where the bars & restaurants are & you'll see plenty of boats... Several ok size lakes within an hour or so of cincy. Just always remember Lake Cumberland is only about 200 miles south from cincinnati!!!! If you dont know much about Lake Cumberland, just type in lake Cumberland poker run on you tube :-)

What are the lakes you mention? Have you done any boating on them? Are they big enough for a 30' twin?

Thanks everyone for the hello's.
If I'm going to the river it's usually towards the Lawrenceburg / Aurora area. Nice water down that way for skiing, tubing, and wakeboarding. I've been close to Meldalh, when I put in at the Fieldhouse, and close to Markland. I've met up with some people at Belterra, when I shoot sporting clays at Elk Creek and that part of the river seems pretty good.
I am not a big fan of Caesers or Brookville anymore. Those lakes especially on the weekends are horrible for trying to do anything on the water. If I do go to the lakes its taking off at noon on a Tuesday when no one is there.
I didn't get to Cumberland at all this year. Decently busy with work, so I didn't want to take any time off.

welcome! another Cincy guy checking in. I had no idea there were so many OSO guys here in Cincy! Your Sea Ray looks mint! I hit Brookeville and the river every now and then. although I'm an oddball in that I'm usually hitting Erie (grew up boating there).
