Kokosing River I Have been paddling the Kokosing for 15 years and have lived in the area all my life.  I have started in Millwood and landed at Zuck in 7 minutes. Water level was at 13ft mark on bridge at Millwood. I have also canoed across the field at riley chapel clear up to 715 to take our boat out.   My ex-husband and I spent every weekend on the river.  I have photos in February at the cave falls off hazel dell rd. also would like to know where the name grove falls came from? The kokosing changes every year, my father worked at the sand plant for 35 years it used to be white sand bottom and full of snakes.  There is a lot of history to the area, we also made it a yearly event to go down the river on new years day to ring in the new year.  I have been to Kentucky on the elk horn creek, class 5 white water, they knew of the Kokosing river....
