Canoeing the Mad River in Ohio 4K - AdventureArchives
video description
h -wild and scenic- distinction from the NPS (meaning is is mostly undeveloped, very natural, has GREAT on-river camping spots, and is perfect for a 2-day or 3-day float. Also, it isn't hugely traveled the way the Current River can be during the warm seasons. STRONGLY recommend both rivers! :)
Please keep making your awesome videos!

Another great video. Thank you. The rented canoe appeared to be an Old Town 169. They're very stable, durable but a bit on the heavy side at about 93 pounds. If you do a boundary waters trip - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, consider renting an ultralight kevlar/graphite canoe - they're half the weight which is huge when portaging between lakes. They're not as durable long term but OK. If you can rent an older model Mad River Royalex canoe, they're exceptional and mid-weight about 70 pounds.

I think change is definitely a must for me in my life. That's why I like hiking and camping so much you can visit the same spot 100 times and the plants will be different, the wildlife will be different and the weather as well. So being in the same spot still creates a new experience. Outstanding and scenic video as always.

Ohio's great! I grew up canoeing on the Mohican River. It was pretty popular. There were a few spots where land owners built paddle up snack bars and you could buy chips or hotdogs etc. Ramshackle places. Lots of long lonesome stretches as well. A-frame trees covering the way. Good memories.

I find beauty in every season and feel so aware of the seasons. I also always find myself at the end of a season looking so forward to the next one. I feel lucky to live in an area ( Southeastern Kentucky) where we have defined seasons even though spring and fall feel much shorter!

This is the first video of your's that I've seen and it's caught me right in the middle of a huge personal resurgence in my interest in nature. I love your filming and the peaceful nature of your trips. Keep it up, adventures indeed!

If you are looking for a long distance canoe trip, Fisheating creek, Blackwater river and Juniper springs are considered the best in FL
Edit: Actually Juniper springs is way to short. Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands are better

Beautiful video. Much respect for your appreciation of nature. I use my canoe as a way to get my family outdoors while we cope with a family member who suffers dementia. The short trips we take refresh our spiritual batteries.
