Mahoning Foster Park
 

On Sunday July 3rd Jessica and I scouted the Foster Park to Rotary in Newton Falls.
This section 6.2 miles long.
I thought it would be a long and difficult paddle, I was wrong. We made all the way through with one very easy portage.

The first two miles are a dream, nice current and clear.
Between Miles 2-3 markers it becomes a mine field of down trees. Never had to get out, but a lot of hair pin turns and reading the water and tight spots. Jess and I used a Perception Swifty 9.5 kayak and my dads 9ft dagger zyado. At this point we needed the smaller kayaks to make our way threw.
Just after mile marker 3 is the super easy portage.
At mile marker 4 is a muskrat den. We watched one swim around us for at lease a half hour.
After that is clean and clear.

Once I get my chainsaw up and running I can trim this section to make it easier for canoes and longer boat to get through.
