Shawnee State Park and Forest | A Tour of the Area

[@ExploringIntuition]

This was the first video i filmed using my GoPro Hero 4. I apologize for the unsteadiness of the camera, and video quality. I am still getting used to it, and will make the necessary adjustments to provide a better viewing experience in the future. Also, i crashed my drone in this video so i will have to order a new one for future videos. Complete bummer, but it was pilot error and totally my fault. An expensive mistake, but a lesson learned.

I think you're a bit hard on yourself. I loved your video.

[@ExploringIntuition]

thank you! i appreciate the kind words! i've been told that before, but i guess it comes with being a creator and always wanting to put your best foot forward.

[@gwencurry3405]

Can you show me where is Shawnee Lake?

[@ExploringIntuition]

@@gwencurry3405 yes. you need to turn onto Pond Lick Road from 125, and travel down that road about 2 miles and you will find it. really lovely spot, i hope you can find it!

Back in the early 90's we took our kids to Shawnee. Back then the cabins had no air conditioning. Boy was it hot and humid. Walking back to the cabin one night from the pool we were greeted by a very large family of skunks hanging out on our porch. We had to wait quite awhile for them to leave. We did have a great time. One other night we had a story teller and singer come to a group campfire. He was a great story teller, and he sang "Dead skunk in the middle of the road stinkin to high heaven."

[@ExploringIntuition]

Skunks seem to love campgrounds! Lol we had run ins with them when i was young. Funny the guy would sing about that huh? Thanks for watching!

Its been a long time seeing that beach again we would swim over to the rock cliff on the other side some good memories thanks

[@ExploringIntuition]

You're very welcome I'm glad you got to see the old beach again. It's definitely a magical place. Thanks for watching.

Mom and dad used to take us kids, in the 70's, every summer to Roosevelt Lake to cook out and swim. Great memories there.

[@ExploringIntuition]

I have many great memories from there as well!

Very informative video. I live about 45 minutes west of the park. Have been wanting to utilize the park with my dogs.

[@ExploringIntuition]

Its a great place for dogs. Thanks for watching this video. I may make more about different areas of the park as well.

[@melissawade883]

My husband and I are heading to Shawnee state park at the end of this month (May 2020) for vacation. This video was extremely helpful to help us make the most of our time. Thank you! Excellent video!

[@ExploringIntuition]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. The park is a great place to visit this time of year. I hope you enjoy your vacation. Be safe!

[@isaiahb7489]

I was just there with my family we had cookouts, went swimming, and fishing. I’ve been there plenty of times, it’s so fun!

[@ExploringIntuition]

Some of my best memories are from the area, i'm glad i could share it with you. I hope you have many more wonderful times there in the future. Be safe!

So pretty love this place lived in portsmouth ohio for 3 yrs was one of the places my ex wife showed me as I have Cherokee in my blood

[@ExploringIntuition]

Yes it is, and you are correct while the area is often attributed to the Shawnee Indians. It overlapped with Cherokee territory as well. Thank you for watching I hope to make more videos around the park again soon.

[@MattJ1977]

Turkey Creek my brothers would actually slide down that water fall. I was too scared. We used to catch crawdads in the creek.

[@ExploringIntuition]

I always wanted to do that, but i would have been too scared too! lol. Its a really cool spot though!

[@jasonmccann3413]

what quad are flying

[@ExploringIntuition]

I used a Xiro Explorer in this video. I liked it a lot, but actually crashed it filming this video..i'm flying a DJI Mini right now, and i'm really happy with the upgrade. I recommend either, but prefer the Mini.
