The peak of Rastin Tower at the Ariel Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio is the quite possible the best location to experience a 360 degree panoramic birds eye view of this spectacular park.  During the winter season the Rastin Tower is usually closed to the public for safety reasons because the snow and ice can make the steps and railing very slippery.  We thought sharing this drone video flying over a section of the Ariel Foundation Park would give viewers an opportunity to experience the park from a viewing perspective that is generally not possible during the winter months.

We created a short video capturing a unique birds eye view of the Apple Valley Lake and the Marina. Most Apple Valley area residents and their guests have never had an opportunity to see the Apple Valley Lake Community from this perspective. When I shared this video at our real estate office it was amazing to hear the comments from our team members because everyone who watched this video couldn't believe the amount of mature trees and all the heavily wooded areas around the lake because.  This video shows viewers an entirely different perspective compared to views you experience by just driving around the lake.  

You can view additional community videos by visiting our Apple Valley Lake YouTube account. This Apple Valley Lake YouTube account feature dozens of community videos that were created using unique a POV by using boats, jet skis, some were shot from an airplane and we also utilized professional drone pilots to capture many of the incredible camera shots.  This video is brought to you by Sam Miller of REMAX Stars Realty 740-397-7800 Apple Valley Lake Real Estate and #AppleValleyLake

I know a lot of Knox County Ohio residents who drive the streets on a daily basis and they rarely notice the natural beauty throughout our gorgeous community.  We have so many amazing landmarks and amenties throughout Mount Vernon, Ohio yet it's rare that most people actually "Look Up" and take in the sites.  We created a unique video of the Mount Vernon Ohio Public Square and the Knox County Ohio County Courthouse Clock Tower using a professional drone.

We have been utilizing drone videos since the FAA revised their requirements in 2016 and our clients can't seem to get enough of them. We have been utilizing YouTube and Facebook for sharing our videos.  You can view additional community videos by visiting our Apple Valley Lake YouTube and Knox County Ohio YouTube accounts.  Both of these video accounts feature dozens of community videos that were created using unique POV by using boats, jet skis, some were shot from an airplane and we used professional drone pilots to capture unique camera shots.
