Google map pin-Parker City Boat Launch
Time- 10 am
Allegheny Grille Reservations are at 12 pm.
Need to be on the water by 11 am. Skill level-Beginner/flat water.
Please let me know if you are coming and plan to eat at the Allegheny Grille so we can give them a ballpark number. You can also eat at Foxburg Pizza.

We will meet at the launch site at about 10:00 am, (some of us will be there early to help unload) drop boats and gear. We will shuttle to takeout at 10:15. If you get there after 10:15, you can still paddle. Stay at the put in. We will give you a ride back to your car at the end. We need to be on the water by 11 so we can be at the Allegheny Grille by 12.
After we eat we usually walk around town and check out the winery, chocolate store or get ice cream. We try to regroup and paddle down to the mouth of the Clarion River. Once at the confluence of the rivers, we stop at the beach area and swim and jump off the bridge abutment. LOTS OF FUN!!!
Then we paddle the last mile and half to our vehicles in Parker. Total mileage is 7 very easy miles. Makes for a super fun day for all skill levels!!!!
Restroom access?- At the put-in, you can use the restroom inside the grocery store if you need to. At the take-out, there is a public restroom across the street.
Reminder. Have your boat registered and your sticker on the boat. Pretty much every time we reach Parker there is a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission officer there checking stickers. Boats registered in Ohio are legal to paddle the Allegheny.
Note-If you are unable to paddle but would still like to be a part of the day’s activities, we can use your help with shuttling. The fewer cars we bring back to the launch the better. And you can always join us for lunch at the Allegheny Grille at noon. Thanks!

Sorry, but I'm going to miss this one again. Same weekend as the festival in Hocking Hills. Enjoy the run and fellowship. Wish I could be in both places.
