Benscreek Canoe Club

June 16: First Full Moon Paddle of the summer. Meet at 7:30 PM at Quemahoning Family Recreation Area near the beach. Bring snacks or dishes to share. We usually try to paddle out to watch the full moon rise. Later we sit around a fire, snacking, and telling lies about our boating adventures. Boats must be registered; PFDs are mandatory; and boats must have a light. We supply chem lights but many add battery powered LED lights to their boats for fun. This event is cancelled due to bad weather. 

June 23: First Middle Yough Trip of the summer. Meet at 10:00 AM RamCat Put-In.  We shuttle around 10:30 and try to put on the river around 11:30. Great beginner trip and fun for everyone else. Around 9 miles of beautiful river. A few class II rapids. Boats do not need to be registered but PFDs are mandatory.

June Releases are a Go for now. June 15 & 16 as well as June 27 & 28.

UPDATE: 3:30 PM Thursday. Rototork back on site at Que at 1 pm. Installed new sensor. Went through FULL Testing of Whitewater Valve. Everything went as planned. Problem solved. WE WILL HAVE A RELEASE THIS WEEKEND. NORMAL TIMES. Water reaches Foustwell at 10 AM. Plan to be on- no later than 2 pm. Of course they are calling for substantial rain Fri-Sun. So if the Stony hits 1300 Cfs Saturday morning- there is No Need for the release. Great News Everyone!!!!

 A new gear box has been ordered for the Que Release Valve.    We expect installation in the next 2-3 weeks, so please be patient as releases are on hold until installed.   Total cost to BCC is around $3,000.  Please help!
