Topographic Maps: Dayton,
Distant
County Maps: Armstrong
Description: The
remnant scars of strip mines are visible on the hill tops, but the creek flows
down a wooded valley shared with an abandoned railroad grade. The first mile is
straightforward Class I. Then it gets better as it makes a left bend and cuts
to meet the Mahoning Creek.
Note: There are two Pine Runs (or more) in Armstrong County. This one is in the
upper Northeast of the county. [Reported 1995]
Difficulties: A sliding board 0.7 miles from Charlestown Bridge drops five feet in forty, but ends in a nice pool. Following an area with a larger rock there is a three-foot drop with a pool.
Shuttle: The put‑in is on the State Route 839 Bridge east of Charlestown. To reach the take‑out, go downstream on State Route 839 to a “T” intersection, where State Route 839 bears right. Turn left onto State Route 1021. At a “Y” in the road, bear right on State Route 1010. Just before the Mahoning Creek Bridge, turn right on Township Road T748. The first bridge is the take‑out.
Gauge: None. Check the State Route 839 abutment. On the creek left, upstream side, a minimum level would be for the water to be six inches below the drain ports.
Normal Wet Period: No available statistics on seasons. Since this section is tiny, it should normally be runnable only after a heavy rain or during spring snowmelt.
