I am thinking about planning a float down the Mahoning Creek in late spring from somewhere around the New Bethlehem/Putneyville area down to where it flows into the Allegheny River.
A friend of mine has a camp along the creek about 2 miles up from the mouth so I am familiar with that section, but I have never gone very far upstream and I am looking for some intel.
I've checked it out on Googlemaps and it looks like it could be a pretty nice scenic run, but I am not sure if there are any dangerous spots (waterfalls, rough rapids, etc.) upstream.
Does anyone have any experience canoeing/kayaking down this creek? Put-in spots near Putneyville? Any dangerous areas?
Thanks.
