Getting Outdoors
Keep plenty of time in hand for the many activities available for visitors camping at Cowan Lake State Park. There is an accessible fishing pier near the Pine Tree picnic area, and with a valid Ohio fishing license, you can fish for largemouth bass, crappie, muskie, catfish and bluegill, available in plenty in the lake. If you prefer fishing from a boat, head out from one of the three boat ramps located around the lake for easy access. Seasonal docks are available for rent. Keep in mind that the lake has a ten horsepower limit for motorized boats. There are kayaks, canoes, and boats available for rent at the South Shore Marina. Fishing supplies are available too in case you forget to pack them into your RV rental. You’ll see a number of sailing boats out on the lake, as it’s a popular activity here. For boat swimming, head to the northern part of the lake.

Exploring the Area
Renting an RV is one of the best ways to explore the area, and you can continue your Midwestern road trip and head towards Hamilton County to the city of Cincinnati, about an hour’s drive from the park. Known as the "Pearl of the West" and ‘Queen City," Cincinnati is every traveler’s dream city. Stroll through the iconic Fountain Square, the heart of this city. Museum-lovers can make a beeline for the Cincinnati Museum Center that was initially the Cincinnati Union Terminal, an Art Deco railway station.

Being first time RV renters, the host was very easy to work with, knowledgeable and tolerant of all of our questions. The RV itself was very roomy and had great amount of storage in it. But The ride wasn't very smooth every bump we hit it felt like the RV was going to break apart. It did not have a can opener so we had to ask other campers to use theirs. It could use some upgrades, such as the very old television and DVD player that we couldn't use.. A manual or written information about the several aspects of operation of the RV would have been helpful instead of having to text the host with our questions when things weren't working right. However the host was very generous and responsive to our questions when we had them.
All in all though , it was a great experience for us !

Clean & Comfortable RV. Everything we needed for a long extended weekend. We hadn't been in RV life for many years and needed the refresher. Chip & Jessica made it easy, & stayed available to communicate if any questions. The solar panel recharging the battery & powering the refrigerator is convience upgrade allowing one less thing to worry. Cheers to our hosts, & those explorers after us!
