Ashtabula River
When-Sunday April 9th
Where- Indian Trails Park 4822 State Rd South. Ashtabula OH 44004
GPS *41.855928, -80.759181
Time 10:30 am
EXPERIENCED PADDLERS-if you are new to kayaking the Ashtabula River isn't a good start.
Ashtabula offers a lot of ledge drops and mostly Class II rapids. One 5 ft. water slide, One three foot drop.
We will have to portage the Ford and that will start the second half of the trip. The first part is 4 miles long with nonstop action.
The second part is easier with class I & some II.
Total trip is 7 miles.
This afternoon we got word the Ashtabula Gauge was at 2.0ft at Dewey Rd Bridge. The lowest I will paddle it is 1.5ft At that level there will be some bumping and scraping in spots but still a great trip.
