This is a beautiful part of the Mahoning river starting in Girard. Then we pass by the vallecori steel and then past the historic area of the old Jeanette Blast furnace by the 711 connector. There is very little to show the old blast furnace was there. It was a big part of Bruce Springsteen -Youngstown Song.
We will have a MANDATORY PORTAGE around the Crescent/Division Street Dam. At the portage we can stop and take a quick little lunch break. After that it is an easy paddle to the B&O Station.
