Staying overnight
Places to stay near the livery
Coming from Cleveland, Akron or Hocking Hills, a river day works better as a weekend. Roscoe Village is a restored canal town a few minutes from the launch, so you can float in the morning and spend the afternoon there on foot.
We do not run lodging ourselves, but there is more of it within walking distance here than at most Ohio liveries — the closest motel is two tenths of a mile from the launch.
Places to stay near the livery
Twenty places sorted by distance from the launch — hotels, cabins, bed and breakfasts and the KOA campground. Weekends in July and August fill early in Coshocton.
