Serious dry spell in Western Pa now. Quemahoning Reservoir is way low! No releases for the foreseeable future.  Due to summer sloth and low water; we are postponing our monthly meeting until August 19.

Release scheduled for June 27 and 28 is canceled: The current elevation of the Quemahoning dam is below our threshold for releases on June 27th-28th . The level is now 1.29 under the spillway. Unless we get rain, we won’t be able to release till further notice. Sorry folks, time to brave the LoYo parking lot.

First Middle Yough Trip of this summer is scheduled for this Saturday, June 20. These trips are normally on Sunday, but this Sunday is Father’s Day.

This is a great trip for beginners and experienced paddlers. This is beautiful river has several class II rapids, so you should have some experience in maneuvering your boat in moving water. We meet at RamCat Parking Area at 10 AM to set shuttle and launch around 11 or so. Bring lunch for on the river. PFDs are mandatory. But boats do not need a registration. The river is expected to be relatively low but watch our website or FB page for any changes. Contact Rick Bloom for info.
