Safe Boating and Fishing Festival

The North Central Ohio Safe Boating and Fishing Festival will be held at Pleasant Hill Lake Marina on Saturday, June 9th from 10am until 5pm.  Sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District the festival is fun for the entire family.

The festival will feature free pontoon boat rides, free motorboat rides and free sailboat rides provided by the Mohican Sailing Club. Free kayak rides also will be available courtesy of Fin Feather and Fur. Safe boating displays and information also will be presented and officials from numerous organizations will be on hand to answer questions and distribute information.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife will provide an area near Pleasant Hill Marina for free fishing for children, providing poles, bait and instruction. A casting contest also will be held for children ages 7 to 14.

IARC will provide communication around the grounds and coordinate the announcement, and door prize giveaways.  We would like to have at least 10 hams to help with this event. This is an excellent event to relax and have fun at.  

Please let Rob - KD8AZQ ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) know if you are able to participate this year.
