Description: A pleasant stream, which is characteristic to these parts. It is mostly flat in the upper reach, with some downed trees and beavers, but remote and wild. The stream is about 20 feet wide at the put-in and grows to 50 to 60 feet lower down. (Reported 1989)
The last two miles may be covered by impoundment of floodwaters.
Difficulties: The 10 foot dam at the beginning of the run and some smaller beaver dams along the way.
Shuttle: To reach the put-in, head west from Marienville on State Route 66. About 2 miles from Marienville turn right/west on State Route 3004. Continue on State Route 3004 for about 4.2 miles to State Route 2007. Turn left/south onto State Route 2007. Go 2.1 miles on State Route 2007 to a small bridge, which is at the head of a privately owned lake. Paddle across the lake to the dam site and carry over the dam to the start of the run on Ellsworth Run. To reach the take‑out, travel north on State Route 2007 to State Route 3004. Turn left/west on State Route 3004. In about 1.5 miles State Route 3004 forks, take the left hand fork staying on State Route 3004. After another 5.0 miles State Route 3004 crosses Coon Creek. Cross the creek and bear right, staying on State Route 3004. Continue for another 2.3 miles to a “T” intersection. Turn right/north staying on State Route 3004. Go another 2.3 miles to the Nebraska Bridge. The mouth of Coon Creek is about 0.2 miles upstream of the bridge on Tionesta Creek.
