Great experience! I have wanted to cruise the Scioto ever since moving to this side of town but…read moreobviously a boat is a big investment. I saw a small sign near the entrance to Griggs advertising boat cruises with Captain Nancy. It was very easy to book with lots of times available. I thought the rates were very reasonable for a 1 hour or 1.5 hour cruise. She charges by the passenger, which makes sense -- more bodies in the boat = more fuel. Captain Nancy confirmed my booking by text almost immediately and provided detailed instructions to find her boat. She arrived on time and was very patient and thorough giving instructions, including "what to do if something happens." Life jackets were optional. The cruise was a mix of a slow scenic tour, observing the houses and wildlife along the river, and a faster-paced thrill ride. Captain Nancy knew just enough little factoids about the river and the local area to keep it fun, but didn't go overboard (ha ha). She played some music for us through her phone, which was optional and she offered to let us pick the tunes. This was a really fun and different experience! I will definitely be back!!

Water: I've never gotten in the water, so I can't judge this.. not a fan of lake water. Dam: Cool place to come for an easy outdoor walk to unwind and relax or to workout (many people run the steps up and down the dam). Everything here is free. Other: There is a frisbee golf course that people were actively using while I was there. There is a lot of easy hiking trails and scenery to enjoy. Conclusion: This is a good place to come with a family or friends. Get outside and have a picnic, go fishing, boating, take a hike, or play frisbee golf. It does get cold here in fall/winter as the wind comes off the lake, so wear a coat. I'm tired of the cold, debating running away to Mexico.

Trust me, I tried. You get everything from the traditional to the touristy if you want it, on this tour. We love the traditional tent reservation that is included in this tour, it is fun and festive. The hotel we stay in is modern, clean, and a great location to the fair grounds. Our Tour Guide Michael is the best part of this tour, he is so helpful and relaxed.

We all had so much fun we keep talking about a reunion. I'm always the travel organizer between my husband and I. Sometimes it feels like another full time job. There are so many details and arrangements to be made. The main reason we booked this trip was to make sure we were able to have tent reservations to get the full festival experience. We were in a tent with traditional dancing which was outstanding and made for a very authentic experience. When we booked this trip with Michael and Ivy, all we had to do was get ourselves to Munich and back home. Everything else was taken care of and it made the trip that much more relaxed and fun. We rode in some of the nicest buses I've ever been on. We stayed in nice hotels with good breakfasts and in great locations relative to public transit and city centers. That is always a major concern for me when visiting a new city because you want to be able to get around with ease. Michael and Ivy are seasoned travelers so you will never be left wondering where to go or how to get somewhere. I really enjoyed the fact that there were meals and activities we did all together as a group, but we also had plenty of free time to explore on our own. We always ended up running into or meeting up with our travel mates though, like the night we all (for some strange reason) ended up at the hotel lobby bar the night before we left Prague. Michael and Ivy are fantastic hosts and tour guides. You can really tell they do this because they love to travel and they love what they do.

I was a sober participant and as such I was able to see how patient he was even when the group got more "rowdy" as the evening progressed. The carts have shelves on top, a space in the middle for people to "bartend" and a cooler/ keg hookup. Protip for future groups- bring water and drink it because pedaling makes you sweat or at a minimum dehydrate and that can speed up the process of "party mode". Clearly I'm the mlm of the group and have no shame Thanks for a good time!

When you see a historical marker in the middle of nowhere, you stop. Well, I do. I was headed…read moresomewhere else, and saw this. It was beside a big mound, which surprised me, but it turned out to actually be the reservoir wall. The marker commemorates a blockhouse that was built in the middle of nowhere even then, for not much of anything. And then didn't end up serving any purpose. Read the marker pictures for a better description. Still, nice that they commemorated it. The reservoir is midsize, has a car parking lot down below, trailer parking lot above, and a small boat ramp area.
