What a great trip on the Lower Mahoning from Lowellville to Edinburg Coverts Crossing.
I loved that water level, 2.59 ft USGS Lowellville Gauge.
Just Like the Upper Section in Warren, I truly believe this part of the river is at its best when it is low.
The lower levers allow a better current and a great view of the rocky bottom of the Mahoning River in this section.
It also allows some fun ripples to come alive and makes you read the water as the current changes directions through the twists and turns.

We had a great turnout of 14 paddlers. (5 Canoes, and 7 Kayaks), But as you can see the canoes carried more people so we had a tie for paddlers.

We did have one carnage near the beginning, but he came up happy and laughing.
I overheard several comments on how pretty and scenic this section is and how we need to keep this on the schedule for years to come.
If you haven’t done Lowellville to Edinburg, you need to.
If you want company let me know I will come running if I can.

After the paddle a group of 9 meet at the Station Grill on Liberty street for some beers and great food. It was fun just to hang out and get to know each other a little better and share some laughs.

Thank you to all who came
Mike Danko
PS much easier with the Train trestles gone just outside of Lowellville
