Mahoning River-Lowellville to Covert Crossing Bridge
Trip Leader-Mike Danko

When- Sunday April 25th

Where- Across the street from the Lowellville Railroad Station, 49 River Rd, Lowellville, OH 44436

GPS 41.03543933284317, -80.53667941467191

Time 11am

Distance 9 Miles

Class I & II Rapids

Due to the low water levels on Little Beaver Creek we will be moving the paddle to our home river: The Mahoning River

We will be putting in at a new location in Lowellville. We will be launching from under the Bridge and parking on River Rd. There is a small park with a nice parking area to unload at and get ready.

Once we meet up and unload all the gear at the put in we will run our shuttle to Coverts Crossing in Edinburg PA (GPS 40.996668, -80.414882)

This 9 mile section has many little riffles and some slow sections as well. The two main rapids are class I + (maybe class II at higher levels)

The first one is right near the start of the paddle; wing dam rapid. It is very easy as you follow the current into the middle of the river then follow the current to a 45-degree angle and hold your line and keep paddling.

The second is just past the 224 bridge, we call it Radio Rapid (ask Ed Ribgy why) This is a super easy rapid to get through. Line up in the middle and paddle straight through it. Very straight forward when it comes to rapids but it is a fun one to go through.

Pack a lunch as we will stop at the launch on Hillsville rd.

Please post if you are planning on attending or text me 330-766-3129 Thanks
