Tohickon Creek
6011 State Park Road, Pipersville, PA, 18947

Event Type

The Tohickon is the first northeast release of the year and the traditional start of the paddling season for many. A great step up river with drops not normally found on a class 3 river, but the spring release’s cold water makes is less forgiving to swims or multiple rolls…i.e. even if the pool sessions have been going well Spring Toh is not a good time to step up. Rolling in near freezing water with little visibility is no joke.

We’ll have at least well well-guided trip for first-timers Toher’s who are comfortable on Class 3.

Camping and parking at take-out if the Delaware isn’t flooding. $20/car, a great deal if you are paddling 2 days and camping, but a bad deal if your just there for the day. https://rivercountry.net/nockamixon-dam-release/
Food, beverages and other support appreciated from those that get shuttled.

Release is official – PA DNR release announcement

Travel Note: The Frenchtown Bridge is 1 way during construction. Closed PA bound. Google maps will route you fine. Details.

And Saturday night from Danny Siger:

Attention Toh Fest paddlers: Boo’s Brews, the incredibly hospitable folks who have hosted us annually, serving up home brews turned micro brews from the back of their house along the river, are making a real go of it and are opening up a brew pub in the old Point Pleasant fire house directly across the river!
They’re not properly open for business yet, but are opening their doors to us this weekend for a preview. The usual good beer, snacks, and good times. You can get there directly from the river country take out lot on foot by walking across the old towpath, which empties directly into their parking lot.
These folks are amazing friends to the boating community and also took it upon themselves to help us source parking last year when the RC lot was flooded. Wishing them the best as they start out on their new venture.
