2014 Stillwater
Educational Canoe Float
Come out and enjoy a day on the scenic Stillwater River on June 6,
2014. The Darke and Miami Soil and Water Conservation Districts,
along with the Stillwater Watershed Project and the Park Districts of
Darke and Miami Counties, are teaming up to provide an educational and
fun trip covering a little over three miles on one of Ohio’s most
scenic rivers, the Stillwater. Over the course of the float you
will hear from experts on stream quality monitoring and electric fish
shocking. Along the way there will be some hands on
identification activities as well as a lunch stop at the Stillwater
Beach. This is a great way to understand the importance and
beauty of our state’s scenic rivers. Reserve your canoe now for a
day of sun, fun and learning on the Stillwater River!
This year’s float will begin at the Webster United Methodist Church at
8:30am and end at Bradford-Bloomer Road around 3:00pm. The cost
to participate is just $5.00 per person, which covers your lunch
expense. This event is not recommended for those with health
problems.
Reserve your spot today by calling the Darke SWCD office at
937.548.1715, extension 3 or visiting our website at
www.darkeswcd.com. Space is limited and registrations will be
taken on a first come, first served basis. Your registration fee
($5.00) is required in advance to reserve your spot on the float.
Don’t miss out on one of this summer’s finest, and cheapest, events on
the scenic Stillwater River.
Registrations will be accepted until June 4th or trip is full,
whichever happens first. For more information regarding the canoe
float please contact the Darke SWCD office at 937.548.1715, extension 3.
