BEAUTIFUL FALL WEATHER IS IN THE FORECAST… AND IT’S OUR LAST BOURBON PADDLE TOUR OF THE SEASON! 🍂🥃🛶

This Sunday, September 27th, is your final chance this year to experience our Bourbon Paddle Tour, and it’s looking like we’ll have some beautiful fall weather to enjoy along the way!

Spend the day paddling the Kentucky River, traveling through Lock & Dam 4 and right behind Buffalo Trace Distillery before enjoying a BBQ lunch, a full distillery tour and tasting, some time in the gift shop, then paddling your way back through the lock.

It’s a full 6-hour Kentucky experience and one heck of a way to spend a fall Sunday.

Sunday, September 27th
$89.95 per person
Canoes, kayaks and tandem kayaks available
Reservations are required

If you’ve been saying you wanted to do this one, this is it. Once Sunday is gone, so is the Bourbon Paddle Tour until next season!

Grab somebody who needs to come with you, share this with your friends, and come enjoy a beautiful fall day on the Kentucky River with us.

Looking for something fun to do close to home? Here’s your weekend water update.

ELKHORN CREEK 💦
The Elkhorn is currently at 2.42 ft, flowing around 120 CFS, with a water temp of 78°. That puts us in our low water range, so expect some shallow spots and a little extra scooting along the way.

Pack light, wear sturdy shoes and embrace it. On a hot weekend like this, the creek is a pretty good place to slow down, splash around and cool off along the way.

KENTUCKY RIVER 🛶
If you’re looking for an easier paddle with plenty of water, the Kentucky River is looking great this weekend. It’s a perfect option for getting outside, taking your time and enjoying a relaxing day on the water.

You don’t have to go far to make a good weekend out of it. Come on out!
