What a beautiful day we had on the mahoning river. We had 14 paddles (13 kayaks 1 Canoe) take to the water for a up and back trip from Thomas Swift park. We paddle 3 mile up river to river view golf course and back.

The really exciting part was seeing a total of 3 river otters during the trip. One was even playing with Stan's paddle and he got pictures. I doubled chck and they weren't must rats at all and even looked up pictures on line and they were river otters. Looks like the old dirty mahoning is making a strong comeback.

As we return to Swift park we where greeted by John Paul and Mrs Tolson.

It was great to see JP and his mom out and about.

After the paddle a group of 9 stayed and had a feast for a last second picnic. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, bratwurst, pirogies, bake beans, and so many little snacks.

We arrived around noon and I didn't leave until 5:45 pm from Swift Park that made a great fall color paddle event.

Thanks to all who came and so many were missed on a great paddle.

Mike
