Water was a little dirty but other than that it was a perfect day for kayaking in Greene County. 19 kayakers showed up for the fun. Be sure to follow our facebook group to see when our next float is.

Water discharge rate on Dunkard was a bit over 600 and was perfect for kayaking. We spent about 2 hours going from Pigeon Hole to the Ballfields. Enjoy the photos!

​This week we took a 7 mile trip down Tenmile Creek starting at the 188 Soccer Field Launch in Waynesburg, PA and ending at the Beagle Club Rd Launch in Jefferson, PA.

We had a nice size group including 2 conservation officers giving us some tips on safe Kayaking in Greene County. Led by conservation officer Eric Moore, local kayakers where able to ask questions during the 4 hour informative float down Tenmile Creek.

Water discharge rate was around 200. A little low but passable with only a few kayakers having to pull through a couple low sections. Enjoy the photos!

Dunkard Creek 5.6 Mile Trip
Pigeon Hole to the Baseball fields.

For this trip my buddy Ed came along again as did my daughter Hanna. It was Hanna's first time in a single kayak all by herself and she did great!

The water discharge level was around 200 cubic feet per second.  Kinda low but we were still able to pass without too much trouble. The trip took us a little over 2 hours to complete.

Enjoy the photos

4 Miles On Tenmile Creek From Bucktown Dam

We dropped in at the Bucktown Dam and pulled out at the 188 Soccer Field Ramp, both in Waynesburg PA. Ed, one of my best friends went along for the trip. It was Ed's first time in a Kayak and a small piece of me was hoping he'd go overboard. I had my camera ready just in case. 

The 4 mile trip took about 1.5 hours at an easy pace. Creek discharge rate was around 220 so a bit lower than we hoped but we had no problem getting down the creek. Only got hung up once because I wasn't paying attention. Hoping to go back soon when the discharge rate gets a little higher. 

Here are some photos we took along the way...
