Middle Fork of Little Beaver Creek
Saw the information below on the Columbiana County Park District Facebook page. As of May 1, there was no name or contact information provided for the trip leader.

We will put in our craft at the Covered Bridge on Eagleton Road and go downstream to the Lisbon canoe launch area by the PL&W railroad station. This event depends on the weather and creek levels. |

Last year's (2018) trip
I "tried" to do this trip last year (2018). Be aware that this is NOT an organized with a shuttle as you might expect with an event listed on a county park website. I was unable to contact a trip leader via the park office and the phone number they gave me did not return my message. I'd like to think they would do better this year.
This was discussed at length last year on TCT. See link below. Also, the story by Erin (erbego) is quite entertaining although it involved an unfortunate accident. --Ken http://www.trumbullcanoetrails.org/f...ht=middle+fork |

Thanks for the reminder Ken.
I asked yesterday (5/1) about contact information for a trip leader on the park district's Facebook page, but there has been no reply yet. I will post the contact information here if I receive a reply. |

Jess and myself will be their (have Saturday off)
We can always do our own shuttle. If there is enough water we could paddle down to Elkton launch

Lin and I did a bike ride from Lisbon to Leetonia and back this past Wednesday, May 1st, along that section of Little Beaver Creek on the Little Beaver Greenway Trail. The water in the creek had a rather unusual green tint to it the entire time we were next to it on the bike path. No idea why, just thought I would let you know. Farm run off? Algae? Minerals in creek bed?
On the other hand it looked to be clear of obstructions and was flowing at at good rate.

Grimms gage 5-26-18 12 noon 3.49 ft (368 cfs)
Ref: Grimms gage 5-26-18 12 noon was 3.49 ft (368 cfs).
On 5-24-18 12 noon (when I scouted) Grimms gage was 589 (3.99 ft) and declining slowly. Middle Fork was low but looked doable in small boats. Tough to judge level from the Grimms gage as it's so far downstream. P1030525.jpg |
