With an early start to our day, we took a little trip to Coshocton Lake Park in Coshocton, OH to fish. We arrived a little after 8:00 am and fished at the first lake for a bit and then moved onto the second lake after walking in the tunnel under the overpass, passing the old canal blocks, and walking over the river’s bridge. Even though we did not catch anything, we still enjoyed being near the water and soaking up the peaceful and quiet natural surroundings. My husband had fun trying to catch what looked to be a solid two-pound largemouth bass, but it did an impressive Houdini move off the hook. As we were leaving, while we walked on the bridge, we spotted a snapping turtle below sunbathing on a river rock.
Finding solid reviews on the Indian Bear Cork & Coffee restaurant nearby, my husband suggested we stop there for lunch at the nearby location of Roscoe Village, as it was just a little over a mile away. We chose “The Bear” and “The Greek” salads, which were humongous! These were the most filling salads we have ever eaten in our lives. It is no wonder the server asked us if we wanted take-home boxes for our meals before we even took our first bites! After lunch, we checked out a few local art/gifts shops/galleries and enjoyed talking with all of the owners/staff within Roscoe Village, a most pleasant atmosphere. We are sure to revisit Coshocton Lake Park and Roscoe Village; we will probably just get an earlier start to catch some fish!
