113 years ago the Great Dayton Flood devastated our community. 20,000 homes were destroyed and hundreds lost their lives. As a result, the Miami Conservancy District - MCD was formed and began construction on the flood control system in 1918. In 1922 the project was completed and since then, this system has kept residents safe and remains a vital piece of regional infrastructure.

Beautiful day on the Stillwater River, OH. The wind and waves didn't start fighting us until about halfway through. Launched from the Englewood Dam river access parking lot and pulled out before the Island Metro Park reservoir dam.

What an incredible day on the water!

The 2025 GREAT Float was everything we hoped for and more! 100+ paddlers joined us for an unforgettable journey from Eastwood MetroPark to Riverscape, culminating with the magical experience of paddling through the fountains.

Thank you to everyone who made this event special - our amazing participants, dedicated volunteers, and our partners at Five Rivers MetroParks, Miami Conservancy District - MCD, Greater Dayton RTA, and Taiters Kayak. From first-time paddlers to seasoned river enthusiasts, you all brought incredible energy to the GREAT Float!
