Before coming to Canoe City!!!!

Unloading at Swift park before coming to canoe city will allow us to have all of our cars at Canoe City. We will be using the bus to shuttle us back to Swift Park with the public paddlers. This shuttle is paid for by TCT.

Parking will be tight at Canoe City; we can park across the street on the dead end road or at the field that is across from the Wagon Wheel Tavern. The access for the field is on the left side of South Leavitt Rd just on the other side of Market St.

Paddle Ohio is a program to get paddlers out and discover water ways of Ohio. This program has been around for several years and offers a lot of events.
This year the Mahoning River State Water Trail was selected for this program. The paddle is from Thomas Swift Park to Canoe City.

ODNR has partnered with Trumbull Metro Parks and Trumbull Canoe Trails to make this happen.
TCT was asked to help with this paddle by the metro parks and ODNR, and so far we have done a great job.

We are not in charge of the paddle. We are here to help guide the public, ODNR Officials & State water craft officer down the river. As Matthew Smith told me who better to help than the club who help establish the water trail!!!!

This is a great paddle for all skill levels.

(The time on their website will be changed as I already email matt to make him aware of the misprint)

Participants will meet at Canoe City Metro Park, located at 74 North Leavitt Rd in Leavittsburg. All equipment and a shuttle will be provided. Pre-registration is required, as space is limited. To register, please contact Matthew Smith at matthew.smith@dnr.state.oh.us.*
The Paddle Ohio initiative rewards individuals with a commemorative pin each time they paddle four different Ohio wild, scenic and recreational rivers, water trails or select state park lakes. Pins are available for paddlers who paddle four, eight, 12, 16 and 20 different segments of designated Paddle Ohio waters.*
Participants may submit information about their four paddling trips on the Paddle Ohio website. ODNR will mail pins to qualifying individuals after the 2017 paddling season ends.
