What a gorgeous day to be out paddling. Temps in the 70's partly cloudy and a great river.
We met up at Thomas Swift Metro Park and did a up and back paddle first. We had 15 paddlers in 15 boats (13 Kayaks & 2 Canoe's)
The Mahoning Gauge at Leavittsburg was 4.88 ft. & at Pricetown 2.43 ft.

We paddled a total of 4.96 miles for the up and back and had 2 members seen a river otter.
After the paddle about 11 of us stayed for a impromptu picnic and meeting.

We also had a nice surprise as Ed Rigby came out to see us at Swift Park. He was out riding his bike and made the trip out to cook and eat. Thanks Ed for cooking!!

A great day on my favorite river with great people. Can't ask for much more
