Welcome to the Mahoning River.
That is the biggest down side to our home river, our tree's falling.
July 4th weekend I made it From Foster Park down to Rotary park. There were a lot of hair pin turns and tight spots for small kayaks.
between mile marker 2-3 are the worst section. Right after three is a portage I found easy. After that is was clear sailing.
I try to cut up the tree's and keep a path, but my chain saw is still down after I dropped in the river AGAIN.
Look down stream of the dam. Between the dam and Mile Marker 7 is a land mine of trees with no way around two jams.
The down side of the Mahoning River.
Get a chance go to Thomas Swift park and go up stream. Very Nice and scenic.
My favorite parts in That area our Swift park to Canoe City -roughly 3 miles.
Canoe City to Packard- roughly 5.5 miles.
