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.

Some Native American tribes called the August Moon the “Sturgeon Moon” because they knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this Full Moon. They also called August’s Moon the “Full Green Corn Moon.”

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 boat 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 issued. Within 3 days no refund will be issued.

Call 419.707.2285 to reserve your spot now! We fill up pretty quickly on our full moon paddles so do not hesitate!
