How far could i go down the Ohio River on a jet ski? Starting in Cincinnati.?
I want to know what the furthest i could travel. What cities etc.. Are there any locks or damns that i would not be able to get through or have to pay to go through? Also, i would have to stop to fill up on gas. Are there docks to fill up along the river that i could make it to between fill ups? I have never been on a river with a jet ski, only lakes. Any tips would be appreciated!
The short answer is as far as you want to go. It's obvious that you are not an experienced cruiser, so I will tell you some places to get info. First, you can go all the way to Cairo where the Ohio empties into the Mississippi, then down to the gulf, then ? wherever.
Alternately, you can go down the Ohio to the Tennessee River at Paduca, KY, (about 50 miles short of the Mississippi)
then take the Ten-Tom waterway to the Gulf at Mobile, AL, then ? wherever.
Yes, there are locks, they are all free. Your taxes pay for it all.:)
There are all kinds of places to get fuel, food and lodging as these rivers are major cruising grounds.
That being said, a jet ski is not the most comfortable way to travel long distance, unless you have a lot of money. Most people you have done long distance cruising on jet skiis have done so just to prove it can be done, and they stay overnight at motels and eat at restraurants; expensive. If your jet ski is one of the bigger ones, maybe you could carry a small tent and some supplies and beach camp. Not be a jet skier I don't know how much storage room they have.
The Army Cores of Engineers has all the charts available for the rivers, google them for lots of info on the rivers. The charts are large scale and show the rivers mile by mile, showing you where all the locks and dams are, etc.
Quimbys Cruising Guide is the biggest guide for the rivers, giving you the locations by river mile on where to get fuel, lodging, food, etc. There may be some smaller guides specific to the Ohio River only. Google Ohio River, or check Amazon.com and search for cruising guides.
Locking through is not big deal, once you get used to feeling pretty small compared to everyone else.:)
By the way, I have cruised these rivers starting from Mpls, Mn. and just returned from three months living aboard my boat in florida.
Good luck and have fun! Any cruise, no matter how small is worthwhile and will probably wet your appitite for more. If you have any other questions you can ask me direct at otter55806@yahoo.com

a couple of water ski boats harrasing a Destroyer or Aircraft Carrier… funny…. ha ha ha
remember the smart ass little shit on the playground who taunted the bully because the bully could never catch him.
today… bullies bring guns to school and shoot small smart as kids.
these types of incidents occur all of the time without major media coverage and hyperventilating jar head reactions like yours…
call down!
I wish I knew why Congress will not impeach Bush and Cheney. If there were ever a President that deserves to be thrown out of office in disgrace it is George W. Bush. This week he added yet another reason for immediate impeachment , the so called Iranian provocation of our War ships in the Hormuz Straits. He is obviously hell bent on starting a war with Iran before he leaves office and he is pulling out all stops in an attempt to drum up support . The nuclear threat did not work, disproven by the NIE report. So now he resorts to lying about Iranians in ski boats threatening our billion dollar destroyers in the open sea. Of course you in the media help him out by reporting his lies verbatim and then never following up with the truth. Now we have millions of Americans who believe Iran is thinking about attacking our Navy with Ski Boats for Gods Sake. Kinda reminds me of the old story about Saddam spraying the US with posion gas using remote controlled toy planes.
If Bush starts another war with Iran and a few hundred thousand Iranian citizens are killed to match the few hundred thousand Iraqi citizens, I will blame our spineless Congress and you in the mass media for enabling one of the greatest mass murders of our time George W. Bush..
