Talking Trip Review

A great day on the Upper part of the Mahoning River. Total of 11 paddlers, (10 kayaks and 1 Canoe.)

I will never live this down, but after the shuttle I realized I didn't have my paddles. I left them in my truck, and it was a swift park.

Ken was nice enough to run back to my truck since it was only a 10 minutes away.

Once on the water it was a great paddle. That section always starts out with great current, and we all worked together and slid over the log about 200 yards from the put in. After that just some maneuvering around down trees.

Lunch didn't go so well, not to many spot to have a nice lunch, and the one who tried at the first spot all got muddy. Just down river of the golf course was a nicer grassy area that allowed us to stretch.

Another great day on the Mahoning!

USGS Pricetown 2.5 ft at 225 CFS

USGS Levittsburg 3.39 ft at 438 CFS

Afterwards 9 of use meet up at Sunrise inn for dinner to tell great stories of paddles past and possible paddles in the future.

Couldn't ask for a better day.
