Mike, Lowellville is southeast of youngstown, below struthers and campbell.
Going to lowellville from y-town is like going to cortland from warren.
Lowellville is complete different then the towns north of it. Very small town in a little valley. Plus the section were we would camp is very safe, as a lot of lowellville residents will camp there. It is a wood section with a small rocky beach area. I have once about two years ago. I the only down side is you will be awaken by the trains as they pass by.
I is a good time, and would be willing to do that this summer.
Also going from Elkton to Spruvale and camping there is a blast. Got to do in the spring or fall.
