West Fork Beaver Creek

mfdanko99 · 04-19-2023, 04:37 PM

little Beaver Creek - West Fork- Steubenville Pike Rd to Beaver Creek State Park
Trip Leader-Mike Danko
When-Sunday April 23rd
Where-14448-14128 Steubenville Pike Rd, Lisbon, OH 44432
Parking on the side of the road to unload gear Put in is below the bridge

GPS 40.69483073738496, -80.76588129841336
Time 10:30 AM
Length 13 Miles
Class I rapids
USGS Grimms Bridge Minimal Level 4FT

Please join TCT on a new section of beaver creek club trip. I have not been able to scout the section; be prepared for a portage or two.
We normally paddle from Sprucevale to the Ohio River (11 Miles), but thought we would try something different.
This is a long paddle but a very scenic paddle through deep valleys, wooded slopes and occasional rock formations.
Due to the length of the paddle we will be meeting up early at 10:30 am and doing the shuttle soon as possible.
This most likely will be a cold water paddle so dress accordingly and pack a lunch.
Due to the length of the paddle we will make several stops to take breaks.
Will send out an email the night before confirming the trip is a go or switching to the backup trip

Getting worried, USGS as of Wednesday is 3.38 ft.

I will email & post the night before if it is a go or switching to another river

Mike, Troy Rhoades (tkr1028@zoominternet.net) I am in for this paddle on Beaver Creek (email or text (330-760-1259) if changes occur

I wish I could get my photo to go right side up

Looking forward to paddling Sunday. We need somewhere (anywhere?) to paddle.
As for the picture...Copy your original. Rotate it so it's sideways.You want to have it opposite to your currant pic. Save the new file with anew name and use It to replace or update current one.
Good luck.

Wish I could make it on this paddle, but I’m away. Hope the West Fork gets enough water to make it runnable.

Still looking forward to this trip. It's been years since Tom, Larry and I did this one. Its 3.57 and rising now. I don't remember the level but it was definitely below 4 ft. We'll see how adventurous Mike is.

Has a decision been made yet on this trip. I've been wanting to do Beaver Creek for a few years. This will be my 1st chance to go. Hopefully water will keep rising.

Yes it will be a go
But remember this is the west fork, a different section.

Since water levels are rising I feel we will be ok for tomorrow's adventure on the West fork of Beaver Creek. A new section for a club paddle.
Any questions please call or text me 330-766-3129
