TCT,
Please join us for a trip on the Mahoning, the club's home river, from Swift Park in Leavittsburg to Packard Park in Warren on Sunday, September 13. This is a flatwater run of about 9.4 miles with a mandatory portage around the Leavittsburg Dam. We will meet at the put in, Swift Park (870 Benedict-Leavittsburg Road, Leavittsburg, Ohio; Lat 41.238975 Long -80.915873) at 10:00 a.m., run the shuttle to Packard Park, and hit the water by 11:15-11:30. Please pack something for lunch along the river at Canoe City, about 3.7 miles into the trip. At present low water levels, the trip will take between four and five hours. Hopefully we will enjoy a slight blush on the leaves of a few trees and some late-summer wildflowers. A bald eagle was spotted between Canoe City and Packard Park on an August 30 scouting run, so we may have a chance to see this magnificent bird. Hope to see you on the river!
