There’s just something different about evenings on the Kentucky River this time of year.

Cooler air, incredible sunsets, and a chance to slow down for a couple of hours.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this Friday and Saturday are shaping up to be beautiful nights. Spots are filling up fast, but we still have room aboard the Bourbon Belle.

Come spend your evening on the river with us.

Some calls are worth answering.

The creek’s in great shape, the weather’s looking good, and there’s no better way to spend the day than out on the Elkhorn.

We’ll take care of the shuttle. You just show up ready to paddle.

Looking around this weekend, we noticed something pretty cool.

Three different crew shirts. Three different generations of Canoe Kentucky.

Some are in their first season. Some have been here for years. Some helped shape the place into what it is today.

We love seeing the old crew mix in with the new. Different shirts, different stories, but the same goal: getting people out on the water and helping them make memories.

It’s the people behind Canoe Kentucky who have always made this place special. We’re grateful for those who helped build it, those who continue to carry it forward, and the next generation that’s just getting started.

Our live creek camera is currently down, so the image on our website is not current. Elkhorn Creek is looking great today with clear water, good levels, and fishing conditions that should be excellent.

We’re expecting a busy Saturday, so reservations are highly recommended.

Please note: NO Rafts, Mini Cats, OR inflatable kayaks are available for the weekend.

Looking for something to do today? Join us for our Happy Hour Paddle this afternoon from 4:00–7:00 PM. It’s a great way to kick off the weekend on the water.
