Class I & II Rapids
Beaver Creek is one of my favorite trips of the year because I grew up paddling this section and camping at Sprucevale.
We will paddle from Sprucevale to the Lock 57 Community Launch in Ohioville PA.
Beaver Creek is known for its many class I riffles and two class II rapids as well as the scenic views.
Right after the St Rt 170 Bridge in fredericktown is the first class II rapid (Eagle Rapid). The second is after Grimm’s bridge is called dead man's curve, but you can go to the river left to miss it and hit the wave train.
I advise everyone to bring a spray skirt to help stay dry. Also an extra set of clothes is advised in a dry bag. Pack a lunch as we will stop near the middle to relax and stretch.
My minimum water level is 3.5ft at grimms bridge.
