Experience canoeing by the light of the full moon. The moon's bright light reflects off the shimmering Hocking River to provide a truly romantic experience. Let your senses guide you in the wonders of night time canoeing. We push off at sunset and descend back to the canoe livery for an relaxing evening. Watch the wildlife setting in for the night. 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. As the moon rises to light the way you will be able to canoe back to the canoe livery where a roaring bonfire, marshmallow roast, complimentary glass of wine and a night of live entertainment awaits. The trip is available in canoes only. Reservations Required. Moonlight tours tend to book full one to two weeks in advance. It is recommended to bring a flashlight. Call for more information. |

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. Reservations Required. Torchlight tours tend to book full one to two weeks in advance. It is recommended to bring a flashlight. Call for more information. |
Unfortunately some people may never stop emptying their trash in the river, but we will never stop our efforts to maintain a healthily eco-system. Join us along with Friends of the Hocking River (FOHR) in the 29th annual river clean up celebration! Clean up starts at 8:30am. All participants will be provided a canoe, paddle, lifejacket, trash bags, gloves and transportation to designated locations.
