Planning a trip down Oak Orchard on 4/23/16. Here is a map of the river. Planning on going from “P” to exit point “6”. Anyone make this trip? I will post updated from the experience.

The outing
Dropped in at Slade road for a 3 hour ride down the river to the a townline road exit point. Very few low points and it was very manageable. Nice for a little trip. Figured we would see others on the water, but we were the only two. Looking forward to doing it again.
Its early yet

That part of Oak Orchard gets quite a bit of paddlers once June starts. I have done it dozens of times. Really nice in the Fall with the color change. At least I now know its clear of fallen trees. Last year in mid April it was completely blocked until some one came by with a chain saw to make a opening.
