With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, and plenty of wildlife. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1930's. My grandpa purchased this property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, "jeeping". Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill.

Forge Hill

We really enjoyed our weekend camping here. Close to home in the city but felt so far away. Spotted tons of wildlife and really enjoyed wandering around the property with our dog. The campsite along the river was perfect.

Lake View

Rick was an outstanding host being very friendly and welcoming. The land was very spacious for tons of activity, I personally enjoyed fishing on the lake that was just a few feet from the campsite. I look forward to returning in the future.

This site is a dream. The surrounding woods make it feel so secluded and give so much privacy, with a beautiful peek at the river at the entrance to the site. The tent held our family (two adults, two small kids) with plenty of space to move around. Lots of room in the site for the kids to play, hang a hammock, and set up everything we needed. We loved kayaking on the lake and hiking through the creek. Rick’s communication before our arrival was quick and informative, and he was a very welcoming host. We were sorry to leave and already looking to come back!!
