2017 Education
Canoe Float on the Stillwater River
GREENVILLE – Come out and enjoy a day on the Stillwater River on June
9, 2017. The Darke and Miami Soil and Water Conservation
Districts, City of Greenville, 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 of one of Ohio’s most scenic rivers, the Stillwater River.
Over the course of the float you hear about stream quality monitoring,
native aquatic species and water quality. Along the way there
will be some hands on identification activities for participants.
This is a great way to understand the importance and beauty of our
state’s rivers and streams. Reserve your canoe now for a day of
sun, fun and learning on the Stillwater River!
This year’s float will begin at the Stillwater Beach Campground at
9:00am and end at Maple Ridge Reserve around 1:30pm. 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
937-548-1752 or visit 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 Stillwater River.
Registrations will be accepted until June 7th or the trip is full,
whichever happens first. For more information regarding the canoe
float please contact Jared Coppess at jared.coppess@darkeswcd.com.
