Lower Shenango River


A self-supported trip created by DoctorSteve

Trip Overview

The lower shenango river offers a calm, quiet, picturesque ride easy for beginner paddlers. Minimal to no civilization along the river and it definitely gives you the feeling of being alone in nature. A couple of trees along the way that have fallen in the river but all were easy to avoid and did not require leaving the river at any point. Easy access to the river with nice boat launch points with available gravel parking if you need to leave your vehicle (The McQuiston Boat Launch on Nashua Road is especially quiet and scenic). Trip was done in August 2020. The Pulaski Mill Launch point to McQuiston Boat Launch is ~1.5 hours. The McQuiston Boat Launch to Millenium Launch is ~1.75 hours.
