Here is the information on the Lowellville to Coverts Crossing trip on the Mahoning from the October TCT Newsletter.
Fall Color Run Part 2 (may be?)
Mahoning River-Lowellville to Coverts Crossing (Edinburg PA)-Trip Leader Mike Danko
When-Sunday October 20th
Where-400 East Water Street Lowellville, OH 44436
GPS 41.035296, -80.533467
TIME 11am
Length-9 miles
1-Class I Rapid
1-Class II Rapid (Radio Rapid)
We return to our home river to paddle a section of the mighty Mahoning and this is one of the most scenic parts of the Mahoning River. Once we paddle out of Lowellville you don’t see much other than rural rolling hills and mother nature.
Due to the construction of the removal of the Lowellville dam we will be starting a little bit down river on East Water Street. This primitive launch is south of the green bridge.
Since we will be starting on East Water Street we will miss the wing dam rapid. That will leave us with one class I rapid at church hill rd. & one class II rapid (Radio Rapid).
The take out at Coverts Crossing is different this year. The official name of this launch is McKinney Russell Launch: It was dedicated as an official launch in 2018. We will no long take out under the bridge. Instead we will go past the bridge and take out on a grassy area that has been re-landscaped for easier access to the river.
Please post on website or text me if you plan on attending 330-766-3129
Mike
(Side Note- If we can't use the Lowellville launch site then I will move the launch point to the new Beyond Corporation LLC Boat Access Area on Hillsville Rd. This would make it a 6 mile Paddle)
