As my journey continues to the places to have a nice carry out date night we come to this little…read morelake. You can reach this right off 275. It is really not a big place but nice quiet place. They do (not now of course) have boat rentals. There are really 2 places to park. One is right when you pass the small range/collect station you go a bit and look to your right. There is a kinda not noticeable entrance to a small parking/fishing area. Then if you drive a bit more around there is a much bigger parking area. There is also the rental building there. It has some nice places to lay down,walk, and just chill out. So do go and relax and enjoy.

I'm on a photography kick ., especially bird watching and joined several related facebook sites…read more Anyway i came here because several had reported eagles and rare ducks. It's winter so no one else was there at first ... I gather it's popular for fishing in warmer weather. No one was at the booth to collect any fee this time of year. No hawk, eagle or ducks but a ton of vultures .. around 50. They were eating something ..i walked around the lake to see .. it appears they were eating their own ... just bones and feathers left. There is a boat dock and a river. Saw a kingfisher at the river. I'd spotted several but this was the first time got a pic .. they usually are too quick to fly away.

I remember my mom drove the old elkaminoe into the back lake on memorial weekend but they pulled it out we had a day left it dried out and fired right up !! The people up at the bait house remember every time me and my husband go in they remember I was 12 when my mom did that and now I come with my own kids and just me and hubby after the girls went to college. It's so pretty and peaceful and my husband loves battling those big cats in the front lake! Cant say enough about this lake it really is a very nice place with very humble great down to earth people in the office and even fishing around the lake I've never ran into no bad problems. Everyone who leaves always gives away what ever they have left in wood nd bait . Just great people An there are fast food just around the ben further up. We're going this weekend

Properly concerned about the age of my children and their ability to paddle a canoe. Joey paddles a kayak by herself during summer camp though, so I explained we were good. The office is downriver. A van shuttles you and your canoe/kayak to a point upriver and helps you get started. Then you paddle (or not, when the river is flowing good, like it was for us) downstream to the office. Fun for the whole family.

Update* The…read morebusiness reached out to me the following Monday and apologized for the inconvenience and the disappointing interaction with the staff. In addition, they refunded the cost of my canoe. I appreciate the customer service! * This will be the last time I give any money to this business. After being a faithful customer for at least 10 years (probably much longer as we never went to the other business on the river) this visit was not worth the money I paid. We were given a broken paddle, that we did not realize was broken until the drop off location. Per their documentation they will charge you for a broken or missing paddle, so we opted to just take one and gave the other back to the driver as they didn't have an extra to give us. It wasn't so bad until very close to the exit and we did flip, loosing shoes and many other things. Flipping is a known hazard with one or two paddles, but my complaint is the customer service. In the past, there have always been staff ready to pull you in as you approach the exit. Not this time! This time, my son was waiting to pull us in as the staff meandered their way down the hill. One blonde gentlemen was reading something off his phone and literally never put it down until I said "can you put down the phone and help pull us in!" He was rude and told me to go back and get my one paddle out off the canoe (with his phone still in hand and me carrying bags and without shoes because they washed down the river). One very helpful staff member said he would grab it for me and he did. When I returned to get my deposit back, they didn't offer any type of compensation for the ONE paddle and really didn't seem to care about their staff and the poor service (again, one out of 3 or 4 staff was very helpful and extremely polite).

We rented kayaks here, having previously rented canoes from Little Miami and Scenic River Canoe…read morerentals. The difference is that other local rental shops are staffed by workers who genuinely seems to enjoy the outdoors and being on the water. In comparison, Mariemont Livery workers seem to be minimum wage workers who are bored, need a summer job and are killing time. In fact, it seemed like we were an inconvenience. When we asked about any differences between handling a canoe and a kayak on the river, our associate said he had no idea, as he'd never been on the river, nor used a kayak!!! Personally, I would recommend renting elsewhere.

If you paddle to the back of the lake on the campground side, the creek is gorgeous. There's a ton of wildlife like herons, turtles, eagles, and all sorts of fish for catch and release.
