"ROCK THE YOUGH!!!" Annual Hoosier Paddle Fest at the Youghiogheny River
When: July 26-29
Where: Tall Oaks Campground (Back/Upper Pavilion)
544 Camp Riamo Road, Farmington PA 15437
What: Four days of paddling and a live music dance party Saturday night.
Paddling:
Paddling will include the Loop and Lower Yough (class III). Middle Yough (class I-II) is there for newer paddlers. For the experts, the Upper Yough (class IV-V) releases Friday, Saturday and Monday. A warm evening run on the Loop might be very nice. The Cheat Narrows and Canyon are nearby. Waterfall trip to Valley Falls of the Tygart possible, GREAT photo ops.
Live music:
Saturday night will feature a night of live music by our own Bob Heckler (a.k.a. 'Big Drop') under the Pavilion. Just wait 'til Bob warms up the Hoosier favorites - Rocky Top, Country Road, American Pie, Wagon Wheel, and many, many more. And of course… Piano Man!
Food:
John & Toni will be cooking breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning, and will grill hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs on Saturday night. These meals are not funded by the club - please consider chipping in a donation to help cover the cost for the food.
Directions:
GPS to Tall Oaks Campground, 544 Camp Riamo Road, Farmington, PA. Campground entrance is a sharp left turn off of Camp Riamo Rd. Please register and pay at the office. Drive the winding rocky road up the hill to the end. Pavilion will be on your right. There are many wooded campsites nearby. The campground is big enough for all of us to spread out if desired! For quieter camping you may stay up in the field at any site available.
