WOW, so sad to hear of fell kayakers' loosing there lifes like that. I agree on making people aware of how bad low head dams are. On the Mahoning we have several. Newton falls, leavittsburg (by canoe city), Summit St warren, old WCI dam warren, Girard, division street. (Marshall street is an old one that has been breach and has a easy path in both side with no under current) (Center st has been completely taken out due to chuck miller. Aka rebar rapid. Struther dam but I do not advise paddling through it. Lowellville, breached right side. And passable with no under current thanks to chuck miller.
Those are the ones on the Mahoning. In the early 2000's two were removed in warren. The first is now lovers lane rapid and the copperweld dam.
JP thank you for finding the articles
Mike-
Be safe this up coming summer
