I'm new to shooting so I was a bit out of my element. I went with a friend who had his own guns. We bought some ammo and targets and had fun practice shooting. I felt really safe and it was and a nice environment.

For any Sport fanatic, this is the Super Bowl of Ohio Harness Racing. If you've never been....YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Great Day of harness racing, lots of great food during the Delaware County Fair. Plenty of reservation only tents to watch with catered food in a more intimate setting or set out your chairs on the backstretch for the tailgate party of the season.

Alum Creek State Park

Reviewed By Toyota1994 - Chicago, United States

Visited Alum Creek State Park in December; not the best time to enjoy all the recreational opportunities, including water sports, available at this State Park.  But, I stopped at three salient features of the park- the Beach (campgrounds), the Visitor Center, and the Dam.  Each place has its own parking area.  Walked on the concrete paved trail in the beach area, and then hiked to the Visitor Center (closed due to the pandemic).  Then went to the dam parking area and walked on the paved trail up to the dam.  Enjoyed the view of the water flow at the dam.  The dam trail continues for about three miles east but it is not paved.  Also, there are several unpaved hiking trails both upstream and downstream of the dam, but they were too wet or iced up during my visit.  Alum Creek State Park would be well worth the visit when the weather is good to enjoy all the recreational options available at the park.

This facility is well organized, with swimming, fishing, disc golf, playgrounds and more. If you camp, be sure you lock up your food well, the raccoons enjoyed our eggs, got those right out of the cooler...lol. Kids all enjoyed the stay.
