1526 Bridge to Highway 61/Salt River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I 9.6 miles
The writer is incorrect about this section being the only one you can Paddle. The city of Louisville has installed Canoe ramps at Miles Park near US 60 and at Fischerville near KY 155 (Taylorsville Rd). You can paddle from Miles Park to Seatonville Rd (13.4 miles). Says MikeB
The put-in is not too far from Louisville, as you can see on the road map further down. This stretch of Floyds Fork is 9.6 miles long and has been rated as a class I section by American Whitewater. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people
coming here. This stretch has has enough mileage, suitable for an afternoon trip. No need to look hard for hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other spots. This is the only paddling section along Floyds Fork. The wonderful Kentucky scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Kentucky is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy.
