If you’re like me, you tend to gravitate towards the water during the summer months and in Columbus, it’s common knowledge that we are limited with water beyond the Scioto River + a backyard pool.  My husband, puppy, and I had a blast a couple of weekends ago checking out the Hoover Reservoir Park Hoover Reservoir Park in Westerville! Who knew there was a Hoover Dam in Ohio, let alone Central Ohio? There is a park + a lake with great space for a picnic, a hike, boating, and/or fishing. I’ve also heard it’s a great spot for bird watching plus the Disc Golf Course looks awesome. Definitely a cool spot to check out this summer.

    I coach for a rowing team that practices on Hoover Reservoir! If you go in the evenings during the week, or the mornings on Saturday, you can see some shells out on the water. I love it out there, just beautiful
