HVCL in May 2010

So far May has been jammed back with activities and we have only reached the 9th! Here is a list of where HVCL is going (and been) for the upcoming month

May 7th- HVCL visit River's Edge Canoe Livery in Waynesville Ohio

Visiting outfitters is one of the best ways to improve service. On May 7th 2010 the HVCL staff visited Rivers Edge Canoe Livery.

Their staff does an excellent job of maintaining clean, quality equipment.

May 8th- New Amish Cabins finished at the Family Fun Center

May 10th- Chieftain Drive bridge over the Hocking River planned to be shut down.

Chieftain Drive Bridge will be shut down for the bridge replacement. Detours sign will be in place but continue to exit on 33A/180 to reach the canoe livery

May 15th Family Fun Center Opens

The Family Fun Center is open for business! Bring a friend and check out our revamped go-kart track!

May 22nd- PET-A-POOLZA - starts at 9am

Bring your family and friends, but don’t forget your best friend… your pet! Hocking Valley Canoe Livery is always pet friendly, but on May 22ndit’s all about you and your pet! All pets welcome! It’s time to let your pet have some canoeing fun too. Your pet can enjoy the fresh air, open river, go for a swim, and get a free Hocking Valley Canoe Livery bandana! During Pet-a-Paloosa $3 of every canoe rental will be donated to the Hocking County Humane Society to help unfortunate animals find a home; maybe with their new family they can enjoy a canoe trip too.

May 22nd- Torchlight Tour starts at 7:00pm

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.

May 29th- Moonlight Tour starts at 7:00pm

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.
