Pymatuning Trip

mfdanko99 · 08-13-2019, 07:01 AM

I will have to move the Pymatuning trip from Saturday to Sunday the 25th of August. With the trip being a up and back and roughly a two hour paddle I will pick a mid afternoon meet up time
of 2pm

Pymatuning Creek-Orangeville Trip Leader Mike
When-Sunday August 25th

Where- Andy Dorick Park 8280 Hartford St (St Rt 609) Orangeville, OH 44404

GPS 41.338468, -80.522162

Time 2 pm
After several years we will make our way back to Northeastern Trumbull County. This paddle has a little more meaning this time, Pymatuning Creek is the newest Ohio Wild & Scenic River (2019). This paddle will be a nice easy up and back paddle which means no shuttle.

K & C expect to attend. We paddled this section July 2018 with gage at 4.8 ft. Gage is now close to 5.19 ft. Current is very slow. We managed to paddle up stream 2.8 miles before a large tree blocked our path.

Is there a toilet at the park?

I'll be there Sunday.

SARA I pm'd you. Give me a call, as it's not far out of my way to pick you up. I have room for another kayak on my trailer.

mfdanko99 · 08-24-2019, 09:16 AM

We really enjoyed this paddle today. Nice weather, easy water, scenic vistas, and good company. What more could you ask for? If you couldn't make it today, make sure you attend this one next time. Paddle on!

What an amazing day on Pymatuning Creek. With temps in the mid 70's and a little breeze made for a great paddle. We had 17 paddlers (13 Kayaks & 2 Canoes) and 1 doggy.

It was great to see Ken and Cheryl break out the old Grumman Canoe for this trip. Also another great surprise was Forest who drove 152 miles from Western Ohio to paddle with the club.

On this trip most of us paddle 2.5 miles up and then back for a nice 5 mile paddle. Ken, Cheryl, Stan & Forest went a little farther before a major blockage forced them to turn around.

This creek is truly amazing, once you get around the first bend you are completely out in the wild with so signs of civilization.

After the paddle a small group of 8 (Tom, Darla, Ken Cheryl, Ron, Rich, Jessica, myself, & Tori)made their way to Top Notch Diner in Cortland for eat out on the deck and enjoy great paddle stories and each other company.

Thanks to all who came for a great day on the river.
