Trip Reports

Lo Yo @ 1.42 ft - 30 June
Author Last Post

by David Cottingham

Eight adventurous paddlers braved rocks and low water on the Lower Yough on June 30. Two open boaters (Kim Buttleman and Larry Lempert) joined 6 kayakers (Rolando Arrietta, Mark Brennaman, Gary Steinburg, Ginny Thomas, Ned Howenstein, and David Cottingham) on beautiful sunny day with barely a cloud in the sky. Water level of 1.42 was enough for a good technical run. The state park is not running the Bruner Run (take-out) shuttle on weekdays this summer. We set shuttle in the lower parking lot. Wildlife highlights included a couple of wood duck families the ducklings about to fledge and a family of mergansers on a rock. They scattered wildly as we approached. Five of us stopped at Puccini’s fin Cumberland or dinner on our way home. A long day of driving for a wonderful summer day on the LoYo.
