🎣 Monster bass alert!
Don't need a boat to catch big fish! Aiden crushed it this week right off the Delaware Lake Dam in Ohio. He hooked this giant right on the other side of the spillway. The fish are definitely biting! He caught a bunch of crappy as well.
Who else is hitting the dam this weekend?

🏃‍♂️Just Another Dam Race - Done! We had Just Another Dam Race today at Alum Creek and Mother Nature decided to turn the whole thing into a slip-n-slide! 🌧️It was a bit rainy, but you crazy runners still showed up in massive numbers like true dam warriors. Nothing says “fun morning” like soaked shoes, dripping ponytails, and puddles in places puddles shouldn’t be. You all crushed it with big smiles and even bigger legs (strong ones, obviously). Huge thanks to every soggy participant who embraced the chaos! And a massive shoutout to our fantastic sponsors who helped keep this dam show on the road:
Pataskala Chevrolet, Eye Care Professionals, Augusto S. Fojas DDS, Whit's Frozen Custard, and Fresh Thyme Market.

🎥Trail Cam Update from Alum Creek State Park! Hey everyone! A few months ago we relocated our trail cam at Alum Creek State Park and unfortunately ran into some technical issues that caused us to lose a ton of footage. But good news, we were able to salvage some great clips from March and April! Check out this video compilation of what the camera caught during those spring weeks. Lots of beautiful wildlife and peaceful park moments that made the recovery worth it!

🌲Nature never disappoints, even when technology tries to! Hope you enjoy these glimpses of Alum Creek. Have you been out to the park lately? Drop a comment and let me know what you’ve seen!

🍻 BUY SOME BEER AND DO SOME DAM GOOD! ❤️Listen up, Ohio: this May, your hangover can finally have a conscience. Head to Olentangy River Brewing Company, order an Alum Creek Beach Blonde Ale, and $1 of every single pint goes straight to the Scioto Area Corps Cooperating Association. That’s right, your beer money is fixing up Alum Creek Lake with water safety, park upgrades, education, and recreation. It’s the only time in history that day drinking makes you a certified hero. 🤣So, come on down, crack one open, and show us some DAM LOVE!

A painted turtle getting some fresh spring air at Delaware State Park yesterday. Fun fact, they can breathe through their skin while hibernating.

Was hiking on the Olentangy river today and ran into this albino squirrel.
