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. It is now a group of three museums, the Cincinnati History Museum, Duke Energy’s Children Museum and the Museum of Natural History and Science. You could comfortably spend a whole day here!

We are very thankful for Outdoorsy and Bryan. Our RV trip went very smoothly. Outdoorsy helped us find the best RV for our needs. Bryan walked us through all of the RV’s amenities, etc. we purchased insurance but never had an issue. We drove from Ohio to California and back! Our only advice would be to spend less time driving and more time relaxing. Thanks again!!
