    I go kayaking and canoeing in Stark Co. at the Bolivar Canoe Rental. Their sign-in area is just across the Tuscarawas Co. border at I-77 but the section of river is in Stark Co. it’s A wilderness part of the river. I’ve never seen a house from the river. Just trees and wildlife (4 legged & winged kind). Fishing is great too.
