This trip is a work trip were we are assisting the Trumbull Metro Parks. We will be opening up sections where loggs & tree are down . We need to make the water way easy to pass threw since the Metro Parks have gotten 22.67 Miles of the Mahoning River as a State Water Trail.

The Sections that need cleaning are from Foster Park to Rotary Park in Newton Falls. It is passable but needs be opened up more.
The Second section is from Rotary park to Thomas Swift park in Braceville. At this time there is one place that we must portage in this section. We must get that taken care of.

The plan is to have enough man power to break into to groups. Group A will go with Zack from the Metro Parks and open up Foster down to Rotary Park.
Group B will join myself from Rotary Park down to Thomas Swift.

Please bring any and all saw that could help as well as chaines and ropes.
Also be prepared to get wet & dirty as we will have to jump in the water to get some loggs out or free.
For members who think they can't help , you are mistaken. We could use people to be spotters while we cut or move loggs in there boats and carry extra water or help take ropes across the river. Also you could help with shuttles on this trip.
At this time the mile markers have not come in from ODNR so we will have to help out later this year installing them as well.

Everyone can pitch in and help make this a easy work day for the Mahoning River witch is our reason for being a club!
