Default Water level = good

Cheryl and I have done this trip several times. It's one of our favorites. Shenango River Watchers does a fantastic job with this event.

I don't know if this is common knowledge but if you watch the river gage you will see that it goes up about 5-6" for this event. Since this event started there seems to have been some (unmentioned) cooperation between SRW, DNR and the dam keeper to release a bit of extra water for a few hours. This makes for a nice lively current.

Alas, Cheryl and I can't make it this time. We will be doing a float on the Kokosing River with a group from ODNR. We've never managed to paddle on the Kokosing so I am looking forward to that trip.
