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.

So Nice we Visited Twice
This was our 2nd time at Big Bend and we had such a good time we returned. Rick is very accommodating and friendly. We will be returning after we had a chance to visit the other campsites while we were hiking. We have our visits posted at Get Livin on our YouTube channel.

Camping River Water Ambiance
We had a great time at Big Bend. Rick was a great host and had plenty of wood for us when we arrived. We are definitely going to return and explore more of the other campsites he has available. The views were immaculate and we really appreciated the peace and quiet Big Bend offered. It was an easy in an easy out location. We slept very well even at 17 degrees Farenheit. We will poat a quick overview at Get Livin on YouTube. Rick stated he is working on a a few new places to camp and we look forward to returning real soon. Great place and an even better host.
