On Sunday the 3rd we had a great paddle down the Shenango River From the Millennium Boat Launch to Rundle Rd. This 6.6 mile paddle had a nice current some nice flat water and a couple ripples to make it fun.
We had to deal with some rain for part of the trip but it didn't stop us.
We had 9 totals boats, 7 Kayakers, Jessica Hoffart, Bob Danko, Steve Preston, Linda, Laura, Paul Issac & Rich. Then Ron Ellis and I paddles Canoes.

Found a Nice little rapid that next year we can hold a throw rope safety class at and can go over how to control your kayak in a rapid.
We had on flip at that spot as Jess was praticing how to catch an eddie.

Afterwards we all went to dinner at a On the Hill Restraunt right by the take out. Great choice Paul!

Thank you to all who came and paddle this new section for us.
Mike Danko

New Castle Water Gauge was 7.8 ft
We did the paddle under 3 hours
