Our canoe livery featuring
trips on the Big Raccoon Creek is located at
creekside in Historic Old Mansfield Village (Parke County).
Our base camp is at the
Mansfield Guest Inn (b&b). You may begin your trip just a few yards from the
Covered Bridge and 1830 working Grist Mill. Big Raccoon
Creek in Parke County is a managed waterway for the 2060 acre Cecil M
Harden Lake (Raccoon Lake) . The spillway is just 3 miles above our docks.
There is always an adequate flow of water through a
pastoral nature setting. More water will help ensure
that your
canoe trip will be a fun and safe experience. During the
summer months the water is shallow enough to let you
wade if you choose but deep enough to provide a true
canoe experience. Our canoes are either aluminum or
fiberglass and will accommodate two adults and a child
or third adult. One and two person Kayaks were added to
the inventory during the 2007 season. Rubber tubes also are
available for a casual float down the creek. |
