Kentucky is well-known for incredible water recreation, with our many lakes and rivers the perfect setting for a day of kayaking or overnight house boating excursion. Our creeks, too, are part of this awesome aquatic equation, offering incredible and accessible opportunities to get out on the water. In central Kentucky, Elkhorn Creek spans 18 magnificent miles through some of the state’s loveliest landscapes — and nothing compares to a day spent kayaking along this beauteous body of water.

Here in Kentucky, there's little we love more than a day on the water.
