05/18/14 Mahoning to Beaver Run
Wonderful day on the river. 9 boats and 10 souls launched from Lowellville enroute to Wampum PA on the Mahoning River and onto the Beaver river. First set of riffles woke everyone up but smooth sailing after that. River was at 5.5 feet so moving a good clip the whole way down.
Sighted along the way was a Mature Bald Eagle sitting on the nest, 4 Immature Eagles flying and perched together along the way. Went past a Blue Heron Rookery in Scyamores over the river with many adults and young. Many herons along the way along with hawks, ducks, and song birds.
17 miles and 4 hours all arrived safely and dry.
