This is a nice play run with almost continuous Class II ledges and boulder rapids. It's like the best parts of East Sandy the whole way down.

I ran this on 3/8/22 @343 on the Mahoning Gauge. This was a nice surf level and I could tell this was near the minimal level, but still a good level. I would love to see what this looks like at 400 or 500 CFS. Oil Creek was at 5.80 ft. If you are in Northwest Pennsylvania this should be near the top of your bucket list. I put in all the way up at Rapp Rd for my first time down, but it was only Class I until just above Piney Dam Rd where the first Class II ledge is located at the bridge pillars of the old trestle. Here's a video of that trip:
