Bike & Boat - Mahoning River

swampboy62 · 01-14-2014, 01:16 PM

Developed a 'Bike & Boat' map for the Warren Bicyclists facebook community page, and thought I'd share it with the TCT paddlers. If you have anything you think needs added to the paddling section let me know.

Are you aware of the map that was developed a couple years ago by Trumbull MetroParks for the Mahoning River Water Trail? It should provide most of the paddling-related information. In the online map at the above link, I believe Thomas Swift Park is mis-labeled as Foster Park; there is also a dam at Rotary Park that should be noted.

Thanks for pointing that out - correction made.

Actually saw the map for the first time just a week or so ago. The Metroparks web page and map are linked now.

So, am I to understand the TCT will be scheduling a Bike/kayak trip this year ??? Sounds Fun !!

Dunno about that.

Trying to develop a range of info for local bicyclists, and since I've been a paddler for 20 years I thought that these Bike & Boat trips should be highlighted.

Personally, I like the Beaver Creek trip:

Beautiful creek when the water is up, and the rail trail has to be one of the best around.

Is that all roads or is there an actual bike trail there?

Just for clarification, my question regarding the bike trail vs roads was in reference to the Mahoning River bike/kayak, not the Beaver Creek (which is going on my "to do" list). Please provide more of these routes, I'm very interested.

Bike and paddle is already in place in Lowellville since the removal of the trestle we will start promoting that this summer, also the mayor of Lowellville said that millcreek park is taking over maintenance on the ohio part, also we friended all the people that live near the launch area so you can store your bike or boat on their property and they will watch your stuff.

Thanks for the info. That is probably going to be the next map I put together. I'll definitely include your business info, and link the map from this forum.
