Slippery Rock Creek is our favorite WW river, only 1-1/2-2 hrs away, so we have many Impromptu Trips that are not listed on this schedule. Check our Message Board to see when/who is paddling.

New Paddler Trip Progression, We encourage newer paddlers who want to improve their skills in a safe organized fashion to choose trips in numerical order (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) Please note that all our trips can provide training. Pick a trip to match your current skill level, see  Paddler Self-Rating System and ask the organizer if they can provide informal training assistance.

Trip Progression Examples
(1) - Vermilion, Grand, Cuyahoga, Chagrin
(2) - Lower Slippery Rock, Ashtabula, Middle Yough, Casselman
(3) - W. Br. Rocky, Slippery Rock Gorge, Cheat Narrows, N. Br Potomac, Upper New
