Zach's Bachelor Party

One Last Ride
Into the Wild

Before Zach ties the knot, we're sending him off right. Camping under the stars. Kayaking the Hocking River. Hiking through ancient gorges. No Wi-Fi. No wedding planning. Just the boys and the wilderness.

Camp

Tent camping, fire pits, and stargazing. Real camping — not glamping. The way Zach would want it.

🛶

Paddle

Kayak the Hocking River through scenic bluffs. Beginner-friendly, so nobody has an excuse to sit out.

🔥

Send-Off

Campfire nights, cold ones, stories about Zach's worst decisions, and maybe a few surprises. What happens in Hocking Hills stays in Hocking Hills.

On the Water

Multiple launch points from calm stretches to gentle Class I-II rapids. Don't worry — if Zach falls in, we'll get it on video.
📍

Conkles Hollow Launch

Easy access with parking. Gentle 3-mile paddle to Cedar Falls area. Great for morning runs.

Scenic endpoint. Pull out near the trailhead and hike the gorge before heading back to camp.

Rental vs. Bring Your Own

Local outfitters: $45–65/day with paddle, PFD, and shuttle. Bringing your own saves money on multi-day trips.

The Damage
Cost Per Head
Estimated cost breakdown per person. A proper send-off for Zach doesn't have to break the bank — the groom's share gets split among the crew.
💡

Groom Rides Free

Tradition says we cover Zach. Larger group = lower per-person cost. With 6+ guys splitting everything, this is cheaper than a night downtown.
