Default Allegheny - Foxburg

Allegheny River: Foxburg Section (Emlenton PA to Parker PA: Trip Leader- Mike Danko

When-Sunday, 24th

Where- 319 N River Ave, Parker, PA 16049 (Take Out)

GPS 41.095681,-79.681079

In case you want to drop you boat at the launch since we pass it going to Parker

GPS is 41.176048, -79.707917

Time-9:00 am



The Parker canoe shuttle service is no longer in business, so we will be handling all our own shuttling, hence the early meet for a twelve noon lunch at Foxburg. We will launch from Elmenton . This a fast 6 mile paddle, but with lunch and swimming it makes a nice day.

I will make reservations at the foxburg grill at noon, from there we will paddle down to our swimming spot to cool off and play around and jump off the hill.

Hope to see everyone there
