Are you looking for opportunities to go canoeing this summer? Join Rural Action for an afternoon of paddling on the Hocking River! This 6 mile canoe float and paddle will take place on Saturday, June 18th from 11 am - 3 pm . Lunch will be provided and canoes will also be available, but feel free to bring your own canoe or kayak. Rural Action staff and AmeriCorps members will guide participants in some local water quality education and history as we canoe along the river and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
Registration is required by Wednesday, June 15th. Event details and itinerary email will be sent with registration.
Meet at the Hocking Parkway canoe put-in (on Hocking Parkway at the Bridge over the Hocking River in Nelsonville). The float will end at Fast Traxx Motoplex off of St Rt 33. Shuttle back to Hocking Parkway provided.
We will be canoeing on open water and experience is recommended. The watercrafts have a maximum load capacity, if you have special requirements, please contact us at sarahb@ruralaction.org for accommodations or questions.
