We had an AMAZING day on French Creek today. We had 8 boats, 5 kayaks and 3 canoes. We met at Shaw’s landing and shuttled the 5 drivers down to Carlton. Thanks to New member Dirk for shuttling us, then bike shuttling himself. We had amazing weather for Oct. with the leaves just staring their change. The water leave was a little higher then normal which made the paddling very pleasant. We completed the first leg of our Journey from Shaws Landing to Cochranton in a little over an hour. Everyone made a clean run through the little Rapids and pulled into little sugar creek for lunch. We were able to walk up to the Cochranton fairgrounds where they were conducting a horse show and use the Porta Johns. After lunch we hit the river again and immediately saw a beautiful bald eagle. There was no low water in the second half of the trip like we’ve encountered in the past due to the higher water level. The rest of the trip was sunny and beautiful we all reach the take out under the Carlton Bridge. Thank you so much to everyone that came out and enjoyed this beautiful October day.
