If you’re an Ohio nature lover, chances are, you’ve taken a trip down a river or two.
All throughout the Buckeye State you’ll find several different canoe liveries and tubing trips you can take. (Be sure to check out this all day float trip.) Fox’s Hocking Hills Canoe Livery in Logan features a one-of-a-kind float trip you can take at night. Floating down the river with only the light of the moon to guide your way will take your sense of adventure to a whole other level and add a little magic to your summer. Check it out:
There's no better way to take in the beauty of this special region than with a trip down the Hocking River. Start your journey at Fox's Hocking Hills Canoe Livery.
Address: 12789 State Route 664 South, Logan, OH, 43138
During the day, a float trip down the Hocking River will bring out your sense of adventure and give you a new appreciation for the beauty of southern Ohio.
When the sun starts to set, however, the region gets a little bit more magical—if you can believe it. This year's Moonlight Tour dates are June 15, July 13, August 17 and September 14.
Note: There is also a New Moon Glow Float on June 1, June 29 and August 3.

These moonlit tours are truly special. You'll peacefully paddle your canoe and use the reflecting moonlight on the water to guide you. (A glow stick will be provided on the New Moon Glow Float.)
Reservations for both trips are required and the cost is $46 (plus tax) per canoe for 2 people. You can call 740-385-0523 or email info@hockingriver.com to make reservations.
Start times for the night floats vary from 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Each trip ends with a bonfire and Bluegrass music at the livery. (The Moonlight Tour also ends with s'mores!)
