Overall a fun easy paddle. I paddled the section from Pithole to the Allegheny at a level of 4.85 on the Oil Creek gauge. I wouldn't reccomend running this creek below that level as some sections were a bit scrapy. I would imagine at around 6 or 7 ft on the OC gauge this paddle would be a blast. Scenic and an easy shuttle, this is a fun little run if we get enough rain. There didn't seem to be much action between Pithole and the Eagle Rock Rd stone bridge. Definitely more action below the bridge. Watch out for strainers/trees!
