Experience canoeing by the light of the moon. On this date we will canoe under the Waxing Crescent Moon. As the Moon moves around the Earth it becomes more illuminated and provides light that reflects off the Hocking River. In addition to the moon, we also provide tiki torches for each canoe to help navigate the river. The tiki torches also help in viewing the wildlife that will be settling in for the night. We push off at sunset and descend back to the canoe livery for an evening of relaxation. We will depart from the Canoe Livery an hour before sunset to Trip 1 Crockett's Run. The trip is approximately 5 miles and 2 hours. We float back to the canoe livery while a roaring bonfire, s' mores, a night of live entertainment awaits. The trip is available in canoes only.
