Its usually Spinner that gets things going for a get together. Thought maybe to keep things going for this area. I have spoke to the Chief about the idea of meeting at Pleasant Hill Lake in Perrysville Ohio. It is a central location between Columbus and Cleveland. The lake is about a 20 minuet drive to the lake from Interstate 71. The lake is a small lake with unlimited horsepower. Fishing is good, there is a beach, camping (with its own ramp), public ramp, marina, and activities for the children. One camping area is a no pets allowed area for those that don't like pets. Also the camping areas have transient docks as well as the marina. This park DOES take reservations for campsites. There is also sleeping cabins that can be rented also. To get more info: MWCDLakes.com.
Nearby attractions in Loudenville (10 minuets away) has canoeing, horseback riding, and go-carts. Loudenville is also where the Mohican State Park and Forest is. There is camping there also. Another 10 minuets will take you to Malabar Farm. This was owned by Louis Bromfield but now is a state park. Just google Malabar Farm for more info on it.
1 1/2 hours will get you to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, Football Hall of Fame, Cedar Point (1 hr 45 min), Zoo's in Columbus/Cleveland/Akron,
2 hours will get you to Marble Head and Point Clinton. There you can take the Jet Express to the islands that's noted for their wine, glacier grooves, and lots of things to explore.
If your not into camping, there is several motels along the I-71 and St Rt 13 interchange. Holiday Inn is in the town of Mansfield. There is also lots of things of interest in Mansfield also.
About a 30 minuet drive from Pleasant Hill Lake is Clearfork Reservoir. (This is one of gonfishn's secret Muskie holes
)
So there it is and what this area has to offer. All I would like is to meet some of you and sit around a campfire and talk about stuff without a moderator As I told the Chief, I haven't put in for my vacation yet so I'm leaving a date open. I do know that I have to go get re-certified during the week of Aug 17th. Usually during the 3rd weekend in July is our lakes Christmas in July Party. They have fireworks on Saturday night. We normally sit at the docks to watch, but is more exciting to be out on the lake in the boat.
If there is going to be a fair size group, then I can reserve a pavilion in advance.
I'll be glad to answer any questions. BTW,,,,this area is wet (as in alcohol is permitted)
