In July we had more than 100 canoeists at our No Child Left Indoors canoeing event and we applaud the many parents and grandparents who shared the experience with their children!  We had so much fun, we want to do it all again - and this time the american lotus lilies will be in full bloom. 

Whether you are joining us again or this is your first time canoeing, welcome!  It’s all about reconnecting kids to nature. 

Wednesday, August 10, Cowan Lake State Park Naturalist, Erin Shaw, will lead guided canoe tours of Cowan Lake to explore the beautiful Lotus Cove area of the park.  Canoes and lifejackets will be provided.  This activity is geared toward children ages 5-14 and will focus on safety and proper paddling techniques.  

This is a great opportunity to introduce children to the lifelong activity of canoeing at one of the Ohio’s most beautiful state parks. Please note that parents or adult companions must stay with the children during the event.  

We will meet at Cowan Lake's Campground, parking lot "B". The campground is located at 1750 Osborn Road.   Check in at the campground office and let them know you are there for the No Child Left Indoors event. We will do a 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. session.  Families are encouraged to bring a lunch and afterwards enjoy one of Clinton County's natural treasures. 

This program is FREE, but space is limited.  Register HERE and be sure to note which session you plan to attend.

For more information, call Lori Williams (937) 725-3811.
