What an amazing day on the Mahoning River. Temps in the upper 60's and partly cloudy.
Water was lowest I have ever done this section USGS at Lowellville was 2.63 ft USGS at West Ave 1.3ft
For the second straight week we had 20 paddlers make the trip (19 Kayaks & 1 Canoe)
Before we got started I got a surprise by TV 21 coming down and doing a quick story about the trip.
Once on the water we had to some portage with in the first 100 yards due to the lower than normal water levels.
After that it was fun with the lower levels as you had to read the water to pick the correct path in spots.
With the lower levels the current was great. Some of us played around at radio rapid with no swimmers.
A great day on our home river

A small group went to Melillo's afterwards to catch the news.
