A little history on the naming of moons:
The naming of moons dates back to Native American tribes and European Settlers. Moons were named to keep track of the seasons and important upcoming events.
The July moon is named the "buck moon" in North America because it arrives during the time when male deer called "bucks" are beginning to grow their antlers.
Other names given to the July moon are the "hay moon" and the "thunder moon". It's called a hay moon because it comes at a time when the farmers begin to store their hay. It's called a thunder moon because of the amount of thunderstorms this time of year.
Cost:
$35/ per person
$20/ Bring Your Own Kayak ($20 per person includes a bottle of water, bug spray, glow sticks, a lantern for your boat, a safe place to park your car, and the paddle itself.) Your kayak must be registered with the state of Ohio.
Refunds will not be given if it is cloudy and we do not get to see the moon. This is an outdoor experience and mother nature always wins! If inclement weather is expected and we have to postpone the event you will have a choice of getting a raincheck for the next full moon paddle or other special event, using the credit for hourly rentals and river trips, or being issued a refund.
Cancellation policy:
If you have to cancel please do so 7 days prior to the event so we can try to book it for someone else. 3-6 days prior, a 50% refund will be given. Within 3 days no refund will be issued.
