Things have gotten a little rough in Cuyahoga Falls, and they'll soon get even rougher. The city couldn't be more pleased about that. "We will have the best whitewater east of the Mississippi," said Mayor Don Walters. The city is already a hot site, known to whitewater kayakers as a "great park and huck," said Seth Anderson, a Massillon resident and safety chairman for the Keel Hauler's Canoe Club, which consists of about 300 families from across Northeast Ohio and surrounding regions. "This is one of the best urban whitewater spots there is," Anderson said.
